LINKÖPING

Linköping – Sweden's fifth city with more
than 136,000 inhabitants, has a long history
as County Town, as a regimental city and a
city of learning. The Castle now accom-
modates the home and entertain- ment
premises of the County Governor. There is
also the excellent Castle and Cathedral
Museum, where for example Bishop Brask
and King Gustav Vasa can be seen
engaged in discussion. Next to the Castle
and the Cathedral there is also the old
church Latin School for Boys (now a parish
hall) which was the starting point of
Linköping, the city of learning. Later on
came the yellow Grammar School building
close by, now converted into Linköping City
Hall.

Linköping stands for world-class high-tech,
not least in the IT field. A university town
and a centre of commerce. This develop-
ment really boomed when Saab located its
aircraft manufacture here in 1937.
The City is well prepared as regards
premises and land for new business and
has a strategic position with its own airport
and good communications with the outside
world. Well-educated inhabitants in a growing
city are another asset.
The university, the college of technology
and the university hospital have contributed
a great deal to the development of a large
number of "hived-off companies". Right by
the university is the Mjärdevi Science Park,
where many computer and electronics
companies have been set up. A similar
development is in progress at the university
hospital, where a number of small firms are
now emerging with a focus on medical
technology. And Linköping has excellent
facilities such as conference premises,
hotels, youth hostels and camping.
