Over the next 20 years, more than SEK 1,000 billion will be invested in new industries. Northvolt's battery factory in Skellefteå and the production of fossil-free steel in Boden are known to most swedes, but these investments are just the tip of the iceberg in the industrial boom that is underway in the north.
