Plingot and Växjö’s tech cluster
At Plingot, we are a tech partner in Växjö developing apps, systems, and digital experiences – from frontend and backend to 3D solutions. As a local player with strong regional collaborations, we’re proud to be part of Växjö’s growing tech cluster. We believe in collaboration and smart digitalization close to the business – creating solutions that strengthen both companies and local development.
Växjö – one of Sweden’s fastest-growing tech clusters
Växjö has grown into one of Sweden’s prominent tech hubs. Here, technology, industry, and education come together to spark innovation in both small startups and established companies. Kronoberg County is known for its innovative forestry and machinery industries, while Växjö stands out with a number of digitally pioneering IT companies. In fact, Växjö’s IT cluster is the largest in Sweden outside the major metropolitan areas. Successful companies such as Fortnox and Spiris (formerly Visma Spcs) lead the way for IT in Växjö, driving the region’s digital development. Much of the strength, however, lies in cross-industry collaboration. The region has a solid industrial base – from manufacturing to forestry – and the need for tools that streamline processes and manage complex data is growing.
Synergies driving development forward
Digitalization is not about isolated initiatives – it’s about collaboration. In Växjö, technology, education, and business intersect in ways that create growth and innovation. New ideas emerge from Linnaeus University and vocational programs educating the next generation of developers and designers. Växjö Linnaeus Science Park and other innovation environments help young companies grow – while connecting them with experienced firms that face real-world challenges.
Together, these form an ecosystem where Växjö is emerging as a future city for digital development – right in the heart of Småland. Here, there is both the expertise, creativity, and ambition to build tomorrow’s digital solutions locally.
Why companies choose to develop digital solutions locally
Developing digital solutions together with local partners offers both security and efficiency. You can meet face-to-face, discuss needs, and develop solutions step by step. Communication becomes smoother, and understanding of the market and users improves.
Investments remain in the region, benefiting both companies and skills development. A concrete example is our collaboration with Smålands Spelhall, where we developed an app that makes the gaming experience simpler and more digital. Thanks to our proximity, we could hold workshops and all check-ins on-site, test together, and implement adjustments quickly – something that would have been significantly harder remotely. At the same time, the demand for advanced technology is increasing. Our specialization in 3D development and visualization stands out as an added value few local players can offer – a powerful resource that can elevate our clients’ solutions far ahead of the competition.
The future of digitalization in Växjö
Växjö is a clear example of how smaller cities can become digital hubs. Here, expertise, creativity, and innovation come together so that companies can grow digitally – without relocating to a major city. Plingot is part of this journey. We build digital solutions close to you, from apps and systems to interactive 3D experiences. The conditions are in place for a strong ecosystem for digital development. Linnaeus University, vocational programs, Linnaeus Science Park, and local tech companies turn ideas into practical solutions.
By combining local presence with technical expertise, Plingot helps companies in Växjö streamline processes, create new revenue opportunities, and deliver better digital experiences. Being local also makes us part of Växjö’s digital cluster, enabling digitalization that is local, sustainable, and usable.
