The defense industry in Sweden is to a large extent internationalized in terms of foreign ownership and through export. The degree of international integration is however substantially lower in terms of participation in concrete collaborations. It is import to monitor how the defense industry in Sweden will act in relation to the ongoing European as well as the emerging transatlantic restructuring. From a Swedish perspective it would be detrimental if the increased transatlantic collaboration were to focus around a few very large companies. Besides establishing relations with the large European companies, it is therefore also desirable to create direct links with US defense companies. These efforts aim partly at creating better access to important technologies, partly at improving international market opportunities. The report proposes different measures to facilitate deepened cross-border corporate relations within the defense sector, including further intergovernmental collaboration to remove remaining obstacles for cross-border industrial collaboration. Sweden should work for increased scope for market logic on the defense market and actively participate in initiatives to create common standards and interfaces. Furthermore, the report proposes government loans/venture capital to facilitate the creation of influential industrial actors within strong Swedish technology areas.
