Mobility and Connectivity

Swedish companies are helping build the infrastructure of the future, connecting people, powering industries, and transforming how goods and information move across the global economy.

Connecting a Digital World

For more than a century, Ericsson has helped shape the way the world communicates. Founded in Stockholm in 1876, the company has been a driving force behind every generation of mobile technology and today plays a critical role in the deployment of 5G networks across the United States.

​​​​​​​As demand grows for AI, cloud computing, autonomous systems, and smart manufacturing, robust digital infrastructure has become a strategic economic asset. Ericsson’s technologies help power the wireless networks that connect businesses, consumers, and critical infrastructure every day. The company maintains more than 30 locations across the United States, including manufacturing, research, development, and training facilities. Ericsson’s highly automated 5G Smart Factory in Lewisville, Texas produces next-generation network equipment for U.S. customers and demonstrates how advanced connectivity can transform manufacturing itself. Through major partnerships with American telecommunications providers, Ericsson continues to help build the digital foundation for the U.S. economy

BUILDING THE SYSTEMS BEHIND GROWTH

From 5G networks and power grids to trucks, aircraft, and sustainable transportation, Swedish companies are helping build the systems that enable modern economies to function and grow. Together, these investments strengthen U.S. competitiveness, support highskilled jobs, and demonstrate how innovation can improve the movement of people, goods, energy, and information

Powering an Electrified Economy

As transportation, industry, and data centers become increasingly electrified, reliable power infrastructure is more important than ever. The roots of this story stretch back to ASEA, one of Sweden’s most influential industrial companies, whose legacy lives on through ABB.

Today, ABB is a global leader in electrification, industrial automation, robotics, and electric-vehicle charging technology. Its solutions help businesses increase productivity, improve energy efficiency, and accelerate the transition to cleaner sources of power.

Reimagining Mobility

Swedish companies are also helping shape the future of transportation across land, sea, and air. For generations, Volvo has been one of the most recognized Swedish brands in the United States. Long associated with safety, reliability, and family transportation, Volvo has earned a place in American driveways while continuing to innovate in software, electrification, and advanced manufacturing. Today, Volvo Cars’ manufacturing facility outside Charleston, South Carolina, supports American jobs and serves as an important part of the company’s global production network.

The Volvo story extends far beyond passenger vehicles. Volvo Group, the parent company of Mack Trucks, combines Swedish engineering with more than a century of American manufacturing heritage. Together, Volvo Group and Mack are helping shape the future of commercial transportation through innovations in fuel efficiency, connectivity, automation, and electrification. The company is also one of the world’s leading manufacturers of construction equipment, supplying machines that help build roads, ports, energy infrastructure, and communities across the United States. Through its manufacturing, engineering, research, and dealer networks, Volvo Group supports thousands of American jobs while strengthening the infrastructure that powers economic growth.

Swedish innovation is also shaping the future of mobility through Einride’s digital freight solutions, Candela’s electric hydrofoil vessels, and Heart Aerospace’s regional electric aircraft and growing engineering presence in California.
