# 100 leading companies with in-house R&D in Sweden

Tamtam tracks 332 companies with in-house R&D headquartered in Sweden. This list ranks the 100 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Ericsson, H&M Group and H&M. Their median headcount is 2,906. Half of them were founded in 1956 or later. The most common headquarters are Stockholm (34), Gothenburg (18) and Malmö (5).

These Swedish companies are large, established firms with in-house R&D, primarily in manufacturing, retail, and telecommunications. They include global players like Ericsson, a telecommunications giant; H&M Group, a major fashion retailer; Volvo Group, a manufacturer of trucks and buses; and Atlas Copco Group, specializing in industrial tools and solutions. Many of these companies have a long history, with several founded in the late 19th or early 20th century.

A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in Stockholm, which hosts companies such as H&M Group, Atlas Copco Group, Sandvik, and Electrolux Group. Gothenburg is another key hub, home to Volvo Group and Volvo Cars. The presence of companies like Spotify also indicates a modern, digital sector alongside traditional industries.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
