Kista – where future ideas become reality

Where tomorrow’s jobs take shape

Imagine a place where ideas aren’t just born – they’re tested, honed and brought to life. Where researchers, entrepreneurs and tech visionaries from across the globe gather in the same location. That’s Kista, where AI is being developed to detect diseases, cybersecurity is being shaped to protect our digital future and self-driving public transport is redefining movement flows in cities. Kista is no longer a place you simply pass through – it’s a destination for those who want to be part of shaping tomorrow.

Seen the new Kista?

Maybe it’s been a while since you were last here. Maybe you’ve never been at all. Either way, we’d love to show you the new Kista – both what’s already happening and our vision for what’s to come. The mix of people, global corporations, research institutes, start-ups and scale-ups creates a unique and dynamic atmosphere. Kista is home to a dozen testbeds and more patents than any other location in Sweden. Each day brings the chance of an invaluable encounter and exchange of knowledge that sparks new ideas and progress.

And where’s the best view of Kista? We’d say from the 21st floor of Kista Science Tower. Book a meeting with one of our letting agents and come see for yourself. Use our contact form and we’ll be in touch to arrange a time. Prefer to reach out directly? That works too.

Ericsson i Kista

Ericsson runs much of its operations here, including R&D, across several of our properties in central Kista – totalling 85,000 m²of office space across seven buildings. The most striking building, designed by Wingårdhs Architects, was even named Stockholm Building of the Year in 2010. If you’re visiting, swing by Isafjordsgatan 10 and check it out.

Just around the corner is Kista Innovation Park where you can explore Ericsson’s latest tech and innovation projects – and nearby, a huge 1,250 m²blue testbed marked “Imagine Possible” is open to everyone. Kick a football, shoot some hoops or watch Ericsson’s live demos.

Kista - an innovation cluster

Kista has a unique concentration of companies and education focused on transformative tech. Innovation moves faster here than anywhere else in Sweden and – thanks in part to the local campuses of Stockholm University and KTH – it’s happening at every level, in tight collaboration between theory and practice.

Great transport connections
