Many established companies struggle to translate emerging technologies into practical use, despite rapid progress in AI and Robotics and strong academic expertise in Sweden. Link addresses this by providing partner companies with a shared environment for technical innovation, access to AI and Robotics experts, and support in applying advanced methods to real-world problems.

“Navigating the frontier of AI requires not only technical excellence but also the ability to translate research breakthroughs into meaningful, scalable outcomes. With Link, we want to give the Nordic industry a platform where this translation can happen faster, more collaboratively, and with greater ambition,” says Nicolas Moch, interim CEO of Link. During the start-up phase, he will lead the company while continuing in his role as Head of SEBx.

In addition to supporting near-term adoption, Link will drive exploratory initiatives with disruptive potential and relevance to Swedish industry, developing methodologies and tools that can be applied across different domains and use cases.

“Link serves as a vital bridge for the Nordic industry, connecting world-class research with large-scale, real-life applications. For Combient and its Associated Companies, Link acts as a powerful engine. This accelerates the adoption and responsible use of advanced AI and Robotics solutions, allowing our network to test, industrialize, and share them rapidly. Ultimately, this translates cutting-edge capabilities into tangible competitiveness across the Nordic business landscape,” says Mats Agervi, CEO of Combient and Chair of Link.

The establishment of Link is based on a shared assessment by the three founding companies, SEB, Combient, and Navigare, that stronger connections are needed between academic research and practical industry applications. By creating a dedicated company, the aim is to provide a long-term platform for advanced AI capabilities that supports companies in applying new technologies responsibly and effectively.

Link will begin operations as of today.
