Design & Innovations

The impact of Swedish inventions is impressive, specially given the size of Sweden's population (today ca. 9 million people).

The list of visionary ideas that became innovative products could begin with the boat propeller and the Celsius temperature scale, to dynamite, matchsticks, and the adjustable wrench, as well as the zipper and the welding torch, and last but not least ball bearings, tetra pak packaging, xylocaine, and the pacemaker - to mention only a few (there are many more!).

Next, some of the innovations that comprise the Expo called Improving Life - The Design of Swedish Innovations.
