Sweden's leading ICT cluster and testbed based in Stockholm.

Kista Science City is home to some of world famous ICT companies such as Ericsson and IBM, as well as a range of exciting startups and the leading universities of Stockholm. Kista is also an arena for future technology – our testbed Urban ICT Arena is located here, where 5G and IoT technologies are being tested. Kista Science City is built upon the Triple Helix Model – a innovation collaboration between businesses, the public sector and academia. Kista Science City is one of Europe's most exciting places to work. In addition to the strategic location between the subway and commuter train, between two European roads and between two airports, it is also a place bubbling with innovation and curiosity.

Sweden's most innovative district fits in 1 square kilometer. What we call Kista Science City is actually no bigger than that. The innovation area is located between the subway in the west and the E4 in the east. On this surface there are lots of modern office buildings, two universities and of course thousands of innovators. After all, it is here that the Swedish IT wonder has its cradle.

Urban ICT Arena is a collaboration arena in Kista. Here, companies get the opportunity to develop their products in test beds, show off their solutions to potential customers and find cooperation partners. An indispensable part of the ecosystem in Kista.

The Urban ICT Arena facilitates tests and projects in an actual urban environment. With the help our partners we provide testbeds with a wide array of digital infrastructure available for your applications and devices.

The backbone of our testbed is the fiber stations. Along the street Kistagången, we have 15 different access points to a dark fiber network, provided by Stokab. These access points typically consist of a “hardware box” where network access and electricity is available, as well as a place to put the actual sensors, such as at light poles or at bus stops.
