LÀnderna i #Skandinavien stÄr varandra nÀra. Vi delar historia, vÀrderingar och samhÀlls syn. #Baltikum och de nordiska lÀnderna borde officiellt strÀva efter att uppgÄ i en union inom #EU , en #Kalmarunion 2.0. #svpol
Finland was for a long time part of Sweden (the Kingdom of Sweden)
That's why I and 5% of the Finnish population speak Swedish as our mother tongue, and Swedish is an official language in Finland
Like Canada has English and French, Finland has Finnish and Swedish
Finland was ripped away from Sweden against our will in 1809
In 1917, we managed to gain independence from the Russian Empire and have naturally been independent ever since (and fought hard during WWII against Russia)
Fast forward to 2026
Sweden and Finland should be much closer together
We're close (we saw it with the decision to join NATO jointly in 2022), but we should be much closer
Together, we would be an incredible tech and AI powerhouse
Sweden strong e.g. on the AI application & infra layer and distribution
Finland strong e.g. in deep tech & hardware and research
Some examples from Sweden: Legora, Lovable, Tandem, Modal, etc
Some examples from Finland: ICEYE, Oura, IQM, Qutwo, etc
There are many more examples from both countries
Linux is from Finland
Spotify from Sweden
The list goes on
Damn, Sweden and Finland would be a strong tech combo
Not forgetting the amazing open source culture both countries have
We need to catalyze something

Actor Richard Gere on Trump: âHeâs a rogue personality whoâs destroyed so much. Heâs hurt so many people and heâs caused so many deaths. But it will be over. Heâs an old man. Heâs a damaged personality. You can see he mustâve had a horrible childhood to be the man that he is nowâ

NATOâs decision to choose GlobalEye is significant for the Alliance, for Sweden and for the transatlantic defence industrial base. It recognises Swedish technology and is a concrete Swedish contribution to NATOâs deterrence, defence and future air surveillance. (1/3)
Sweden is the powerhouse of European arms industry.
It's a privilege and a true relief to have a neighbor and a close ally like them.
Europe, buy Swedish!
