Writing an economics paper re. tech. innovation in the last decade and my attention was drawn to Sweden. In addition to being the famed birthplace of Spotify, since mid-2016, it has borne 35 tech unicorns––companies valued over $1 billion––and now has the 5th largest number of potential unicorns––companies valued between $250 million and $1 billion (https://dealroom.co/blog/sweden-tech-ecosystem). All of this despite having the population of London. Definitely an interesting discussion.
