kalender.seGöteborg W drew 1-1 with Elfsborg WSweden keeps telling itself a comforting story: we live longer, most people feel healthy, and daily smoking is at a historic low. Folkhälsomyndighetens report Folkhälsan i Sverige 2026, published 31 March 2026, confirms the averages. Over 70 percent of respondents say their health is good. Only 5 to 7 percent say it is bad. Since 2012, remaining life expectancy has risen by 1.7 years for women and 2.1 years for men. Daily tobacco smoking is now just over 5 percent — roughly half the level of fifteen years ago. The same report says the national public-health goal is slipping. That goal is to create societal conditions for good and equal health, and to close the avoidable health gaps by 2048. Generaldirektör Olivia Wigzell put it bluntly: inequality in health is not decreasing, and for life expectancy it is even increasing. What the numbers actually show The headline gap is life years. People with long education and high incomes live on average more than 6.5 years longer than those with shorter education and lower incomes. Premature deaths are about three times as common in the group with the shortest education. The gains since 2012 are concentrated among those already better off. SCB's parallel analysis of remaining life expectancy at age 30 for people born in Sweden finds a 6.7-year gap in 2024 between post-secondary and pre-secondary education — and that gap widened by almost a year between 2014 and 2024 among Swedish-born adults. Money and school track the same pattern. In 2023, more than 100,000 adults and 64,000 children and young people lived in households whose incomes for several years did not cover basic necessities. About 25 percent of those who start gymnasium do not graduate within four years. Not graduating is more than four times as common among young people in the lowest-income households as among those in the highest-income households. Folkhälsomyndigheten notes that of those who failed to graduate in 2025, about 60 percent would have graduated if everyone had the same conditions as the highest-income group — roughly 16,900 pupils that year. Smoking is the clearest "success with a shadow" case. Daily smoking fell to just over 5 percent, but it remains almost four times as common among people with short education and low income. Insufficient physical activity and low vegetable intake are stuck, and the socioeconomic gaps there have not closed either. Why averages hide policy failure Public health debates often treat national averages as proof that the system works. Folkhälsan i Sverige 2026 is useful because it refuses that shortcut. The report treats living conditions and health behaviours as inputs, not lifestyle moralising. The people with worse housing economics, weaker school outcomes, and less healthy habits are largely the same groups who die earlier. That is why Wigzell frames the problem as needing more action at national, regional, and municipal level — not another campaign aimed only at the already healthy. The 2048 deadline matters politically because it is still more than twenty years away, which invites delay. The report's message is that delay is already visible in the trend lines. If life-expectancy gaps widen while overall health looks "good," Sweden can celebrate longer lives for the privileged and still miss the equality target written into policy. Where European health data fits in Separately from the Folkhälsomyndigheten report, the EU's European Health Data Space (EHDS) is moving from negotiation into national homework. According to E-hälsomyndigheten, the regulation applies from March 2027 and rolls out in stages through 2029, 2031 and 2035. Primary use means cross-border care: a Swedish e-prescription usable in another EU country, or clinicians abroad seeing diagnoses, allergies and medicines when you fall ill. Secondary use means research, statistics, innovation and crisis decision-making under controlled conditions, with anonymisation or other protections so individuals are not identifiable. On 26 June 2026 the Swedish government gave three agencies new mandates to prepare secondary use under EHDS. Socialstyrelsen continues preparing to become the health-data access body (HDAB). IVO prepares supervision of compliance. E-hälsomyndigheten analyses how the national digital health infrastructure can support secondary use. Final written reports are due to the Government Offices by 30 April 2027. EHDS will not by itself close a 6.5-year life-expectancy gap. It does change who can request which health data, under what permits, and with what patient rights to see access logs and restrict some data. For a country where inequality in health is stubbornly tied to education and income, better secondary-use infrastructure could either illuminate those gaps with better evidence — or become another technical project that never reaches the municipalities where the gaps are lived. What to watch before 2048 Three concrete markers from the 2026 report are worth tracking every year, not only when a big PDF drops. First, the education-linked life-expectancy gap (and SCB's remaining life expectancy at 30). Second, the share of gymnasium starters who never graduate, especially the income gradient. Third, whether daily smoking stays near 5 percent overall while remaining several times higher in short-education groups. If those three do not bend toward equality, celebrating "70 percent feel healthy" is marketing, not public health.

Central Gothenburg condo prices sit at about SEK 70,737 per square metre after a flat August and a weak three-month stretch, while the wider Stor-Göteborg market averages closer to SEK 50,169/m². Mid-September early data already points to a sharper condo rebound in Storgöteborg than in Stockholm. The open question for buyers and sellers is whether this is a normal autumn catch-up — or whether Sweden’s election uncertainty will freeze deals again. What the August numbers actually say Svensk Mäklarstatistik figures reported in early September 2026 (covering summer sales) put central Göteborg bostadsrätter at SEK 70,737/kvm: unchanged month-on-month, down 0.9% over three months, but up 6.2% over twelve months. Stor-Göteborg was softer on an annual basis (+2.5% to SEK 50,169/kvm), though it edged up 0.7% in the latest month. House prices tell a different story. Stor-Göteborg villas averaged about SEK 5.79 million, essentially flat over three months (+0.2%) and only +1.6% year-on-year — weaker than Stor-Stockholm’s villa market (+6.0% to about SEK 7.3 million). Nationwide, villas still rose 0.6% in August while condo prices slipped 0.1%. Source: Finanstidning summary of Svensk Mklarstatistik, 8 Sep 2026 (https://finanstidning.se/bostadspriser-villor-upp-06-procent-i-augusti) Mid-September: Storgöteborg condos accelerate Mäklarsamfundet’s Boprispulsen (mid-month pulse based on advance Svensk Mäklarstatistik data, published 21 September 2026) says condo prices are turning up again after August’s soft patch. Roughly halfway through September, Storgöteborg and Stormalmö condo prices were already around +2% versus August described as an accelerating move, not just a summer bounce-back. Stockholm and the national condo average were closer to +1%. Villa markets look more mixed: subdued or slightly down in the country as a whole and in Stor-Stockholm, while volumes have been high all year. That split matters in Göteborg: apartments are warming faster than houses right now. Source: Mäklarsamfundet press release, 21 Sep 2026 (https://www.mynewsdesk.com/se/maklarsamfundet/pressreleases/bostadsraettspriserna-pekar-uppaat-igen-efter-sommarens-nedgaang-3467951) Why banks still see ~5% price growth in 2026 Handelsbanken’s housing outlook (updated 9 September 2026) expects Swedish home prices to rise by just under 5% in 2026, then about 6% in 2027 and 4% in 2028. Two policy changes from April 2026 are central to that call: the mortgage cap moved from 85% to 90% LTV, and the extra 1% amortisation rule for loans above 4.5× gross income was removed. Handelsbanken estimates those rule changes alone add roughly ~2 percentage points to annual price growth in 2026–2027. They also note that sales volumes have been running about 10% higher than a year earlier in recent months, and that villa prices kept rising in Göteborg, Malmö and mid-sized cities even when Stockholm cooled after spring. Source: Handelsbanken — Bostadspriser prognos 2026 (https://www.handelsbanken.se/sv/ekonomi-i-livet/privatekonomi/boendeekonomi/for-hushall/bostadspriser-2026-prognos-statistik-och-historisk-utveckling) The Göteborg-specific tension Put the three sources together and you get a local puzzle: 1. Central Göteborg condos already run ~6% above last year and sit near SEK 71k/kvm — expensive by local standards, still far below central Stockholm’s ~SEK 121k/kvm. 2. Stor-Göteborg as a whole lagged on the annual condo print (+2.5%), so the city centre and the suburbs are not moving as one market. 3. September pulse data singles out Storgöteborg as one of the faster condo recoveries mid-month. 4. Election caution still shows up in broker commentary: SkandiaMäklarna’s CEO has described buyers and sellers waiting to see what politics and the economy do before pressing “buy”. If you are choosing between waiting and locking a price in Göteborg this autumn, the data does not give a single answer. Liquidity is returning to apartments; houses are quieter; the bank baseline still assumes mid-single-digit national gains helped by looser mortgage rules — and a political calendar that can freeze intent overnight. Göteborg’s autumn housing story is not “boom or bust.” It is a centre-vs-suburb and condo-vs-villa split, with fresh mid-September signals that Storgöteborg apartments are heating up again while villas stay muted. Official August levels (SEK 70,737/kvm central; SEK 50,169/kvm Stor-Göteborg) plus Handelsbanken’s ~5% 2026 forecast are the factual anchors; the election pause is the soft risk that numbers cannot price yet. If you live in or around Göteborg — would you buy on this September rebound, or wait until after the election before you trust the market again?
How long is the housing queue in Greater Göteborg? The folklore says “seven years.” Boplats Väst’s own public statistics for 2025 put the average closer to that — and they also show why the average alone is a bad planning number. The official average: 2,493 queue days Boplats Väst publishes a five-year table on boplats.se/tipshjalp/statistik (https://boplats.se/tipshjalp/statistik). For 2025 it reports: • 6,853 apartments allocated • 2,493 average queue days for those who got a contract (~6.8 years) • 307,593 people registered in the queue at year-end • 89% of allocated homes from municipal housing companies That average has barely moved since 2023 (2,488 → 2,509 → 2,493). The queue of people has not: it grew from about 257,000 at end-2021 to 307,593 at end-2025. More people are waiting; throughput stayed in the 6,000–7,000 homes-per-year band. Boplats itself notes that average queue time mainly reflects how long the queue system has existed (queue days started counting in September 2004) and that the spread between individual contracts is large. The headline “almost seven years” is true as an average — and incomplete as advice. Size of home changes everything When Boplats opened its interactive stats tool in March 2026, Fastighetstidningen highlighted the gap by apartment size (Fastighetstidningen, 31 March 2026 (https://fastighetstidningen.se/okategoriserade/boplats-vast-visar-oppen-bostadsstatistik/)): • One-room homes in 2025: about 65 applicants per apartment, average queue 4.9 years • Four-room homes: about 251 applicants per apartment, average queue 9.7 years So the same municipal system can mean under five years for a studio-ish unit and nearly a decade for a larger family apartment — before you even factor in neighbourhood. Central addresses still eat the longest waits; outer districts move faster. If you only remember “seven years,” you are averaging a studio in Bergsjön with a four in Linnéstaden. Free queue for ages 17–21 from 1 January 2026 On 16 October 2025 Göteborg’s city council voted to make Boplats registration free for young people. Boplats’s own fee page now states that from 1 January 2026, ages 17–21 pay 0 kr to hold an account and collect queue days; from age 22 the annual fee is 200 kr including VAT (boplats.se – Betala årsavgift (https://boplats.se/tipshjalp/betala)). The change applies regardless of where in Sweden you live, as long as you have a Boplats account. Inactive accounts that were not collecting days before the reform were activated from 1 January 2026. That is a real policy shift: starting early no longer costs a teenager money for several years. Whether free youth accounts shorten successful waits depends on whether more early joiners simply lengthen the queue faster than new supply arrives. The 2025 table already shows more people in line than in 2021 without a matching jump in allocated homes. Municipal homes still dominate allocation In every year of the published five-year table, 82–89% of allocated apartments came from the municipal housing companies. Private landlords appear in the Boplats pool, but the pipeline that clears the queue is still mostly public stock. That matters if you are hoping private construction alone will “solve” the wait: the allocation data shows who actually hands out the contracts that burn queue days. The annual fee for adults remains modest in absolute kronor (200 kr from age 22), which is why many people stay in the queue for years even when they are not actively searching. Free youth accounts remove that friction earlier. The scarce resource is not the fee — it is the ratio of seekers to homes. What the numbers do not tell you Boplats’s methodology notes matter: • Queue days start counting when the account is active and fees (if due) are paid. • Some homes use other ranking rules (“annan kö”) than pure Boplats queue days. • Target groups (student, senior, trygghetsboende) are separate pools. Public stats also do not tell you your personal odds for a specific street next month. They do kill a few myths: the system is not a black box, the average is not destiny, and apartment size is not a footnote.

After the September 2026 election, several centre-left voices have talked about kickstarting electrification again — a broader elbilspremie for more households, used EVs, and leasing. Coverage in DI and Allt om Elbil keeps circling the same plateau: battery cars are stuck around 40–45% of new-car sales, which is not enough if Sweden still wants 2030 transport targets to mean something. Centerpartiet has floated ideas in that direction (including a ~50k SEK premie and a 90% new-EV goal by 2030). Other parties are softer on cash and harder on infrastructure. In Göteborg this hits hard for anyone in a hyresrätt or BRF without a garage socket. Honest question: would a returned subsidy change your next purchase or lease — or is the dealbreaker still no reliable overnight charger on your street / courtyard? What has mattered more in your own decision: sticker price, residual value, or just being able to plug in at home?

kalender.seToday: Göteborg W vs Elfsborg WBoplats Väst’s average queue time landed around 2,493 days last year — roughly 6.8 years — and central Göteborg often needs 12–18 years of queue days. Meanwhile first-hand rents keep climbing: a 2-room in the older stock sits near 7,800–9,800 SEK/month, and new builds are higher still. So the practical question for people moving here (or stuck in second-hand): do you keep paying the Boplats fee and treating queue days like an investment, or has the queue become theater while the real market is Facebook groups, tips from friends, and overpriced nyproduktion? If you got a first-hand contract in Göteborg in the last few years — how many queue days did it actually take, and would you tell a friend to join Boplats today?

Sweden’s 2026 housing survey from Boverket has a headline that sounds like good news: for the first time since 2001, more municipalities say their housing market is in balance than report a shortage. Dig one layer deeper and the picture for Göteborg looks very different. What Boverket’s 2026 survey actually says Boverket’s Bostadsmarknadsenkät 2026 covers 287 of Sweden’s 290 municipalities. Of those, 130 judge the local market in balance. The other 157 still report imbalance — 102 with underskott (shortage) and 55 with överskott (surplus). That national “balance” number is real, and it is historically notable. It is also easy to misread. Boverket itself stresses that a large share of the population still lives in municipalities that are not in balance, and that metro regions look nothing like smaller towns. In the big-city regions, shortage still dominates almost every municipality and district. Many of those municipalities expect the shortage to remain three years out. Outside the metros, balance and even surplus are rising — including surplus of new, expensive rentals that are hard to fill while the “right” homes (affordable, accessible, senior-friendly) stay scarce. Primary source: Boverket’s 2026 BME observations — https://www.boverket.se/sv/samhallsplanering/bostadsmarknad/bostadsmarknaden/bostadsmarknadsenkaten/iakttagelser-bme/ Göteborg’s queue in hard numbers Boplats Väst (owned by City of Gothenburg) published 2025 full-year stats that match what many locals feel: • Average queue time for apartments allocated in 2025: 2,493 queue days — about 6.8 years (down slightly from 6.9 the year before — the first dip since measurements began in 2009). • People in the queue at year-end 2025: 307,593. • Apartments allocated in 2025: 6,853 (up from 6,231 in 2024). • Share of public-housing (allmännytta) allocations: 89%. Room-size still matters a lot. Reporting on Boplats’s open stats tool noted that one-bedrooms averaged about 4.9 years of queue time in 2025, while four-bedrooms averaged about 9.7 years — with far more applicants per listing on larger flats. Sources: • Boplats Väst statistics — https://boplats.se/tipshjalp/statistik • Fastighetstidningen on Boplats open stats (31 Mar 2026) — https://fastighetstidningen.se/okategoriserade/boplats-vast-visar-oppen-bostadsstatistik/ Stockholm is not the same market — but it shows the metro pattern Stockholm’s municipal housing agency reports an average queue of 9 years in 2025 for ordinary rentals across the county, and about 21 years for inner-city homes. Student housing averaged about 4.5 years. That is a different tool and a different city, but it underlines Boverket’s metro vs non-metro split: national “more municipalities in balance” does not mean Stockholm or Göteborg suddenly became easy. Source: Bostadsförmedlingen i Stockholm — https://bostad.stockholm.se/statistik/hur-lang-tid-tar-det/ The mismatch Boverket keeps pointing at Even where municipalities report balance or surplus, almost 200 say the main need is still homes with reasonable costs, senior housing, and accessible housing. About 45% of municipalities that already have senior housing say they need more. Expected new trygghetsbostäder over the next two years are only about 1,150 — unusually low relative to stated need. 117 municipalities report a shortage of SÄBO (special housing for older people). On the supply side, public housing stock grew by just under 4,100 units in 2025, while total rentals grew by about 16,400 — so the private rental share is rising and allmännyttan’s share is falling. Sales of public housing hit a 2000s low (about 550 units). Boverket also notes a small recovery in planned building for 2026–2027 (especially bostadsrätter and small houses), but from a historically low base, with high production costs and tough financing still named as the main brakes. One Göteborg-specific policy change in 2026 From 1 January 2026, registration in the Boplats queue is free until you turn 22 (Göteborg kommunfullmäktige decision). That does not shorten the existing 6.8-year average overnight, but it removes a barrier for young people who often struggle to get a first lease. So is the crisis “over”? No. The useful reading of Boverket 2026 is not “Sweden fixed housing.” It is: many smaller municipalities are no longer short of units in aggregate, while the people-heavy metro markets — including Göteborg — still ration scarce central and family-sized rentals through multi-year queues. Surplus of the wrong product and shortage of the right one can coexist in the same country, and sometimes in the same municipality. Discussion If you live in Göteborg (or moved here for work/studies): would you trust the national “more municipalities in balance” headline — or do local queue years still decide how you plan life, kids, and career?
Sweden’s congestion tax is still one of Europe’s clearest road-pricing experiments — but does the price still match the problem? Stockholm and Gothenburg charge a trängselskatt (congestion tax) on weekdays so drivers pay more when roads are busiest. The official goals are straightforward: cut congestion, improve the local environment, and help finance major infrastructure. In 2026 the rate tables are public, detailed, and still surprisingly unknown to many people who only drive those cities a few times a year. This post walks through what you actually pay today, how the two cities differ, where the money is supposed to go, and the policy question that never goes away: is peak pricing still doing enough — or have we got used to the fee and the queues returned? What Stockholm charges in 2026 According to the Swedish Transport Agency (Transportstyrelsen), congestion tax in Stockholm applies on weekdays for vehicles entering and leaving the inner city and for traffic on Essingeleden (E4). Peak season runs from 1 March to the day before Midsummer Eve, and again from 15 August to 30 November; the rest of the year is off-peak. For the city-centre cordon, peak-hour passages can cost 45 SEK (roughly 7:00–8:29 and 16:00–17:29 in peak season). Midday passages are cheaper — 11 SEK between 9:30 and 14:59. The daily cap is 135 SEK in peak season and 105 SEK in off-peak season. Essingeleden has its own slightly lower schedule (for example 40 SEK rather than 45 SEK in the morning peak during peak season). July is largely free, except the first five weekdays. Transportstyrelsen also publishes a 2026 exemption calendar covering public holidays and days around them (New Year, Easter-related days, 1 May, Ascension, Midsummer Eve, Christmas Eve/Day, and New Year’s Eve). Primary source: Hours and amounts in Stockholm – Transportstyrelsen (https://www.transportstyrelsen.se/en/road/vehicles/taxes-and-fees/road-tolls/congestion-taxes-in-stockholm-and-gothenburg/congestion-tax-in-stockholm/hours-and-amounts-in-stockholm/) Gothenburg’s lower ceiling — and the 60-minute rule Gothenburg’s system is simpler and cheaper at the top end. Passages cost 9, 16 or 22 SEK depending on the time band between 06:00 and 18:29 on weekdays. The daily maximum is 60 SEK — less than half of Stockholm’s peak-season cap. There is also a distinctive design choice: the single charge rule. If a vehicle passes several toll stations within 60 minutes, it is taxed only once, at the highest amount in that window. That matters for short cross-town trips that would otherwise stack multiple gantries. July is free in Gothenburg (not just mostly free), and there is a published 2026 list of exemption days that is a bit longer than Stockholm’s, including days before some public holidays. Primary source: Hours and amounts in Gothenburg – Transportstyrelsen (https://www.transportstyrelsen.se/en/road/vehicles/taxes-and-fees/road-tolls/congestion-taxes-in-stockholm-and-gothenburg/congestion-tax-in-gothenburg/hours-and-amounts-in-gothenburg/) Why the tax exists beyond “annoying drivers” Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration) describes congestion tax as a tool to reduce congestion, improve the environment, and contribute to infrastructure financing. Skatteverket frames the same dual purpose: accessibility/environment plus infrastructure funding. In Gothenburg, that financing link is especially concrete. Congestion tax was introduced on 1 January 2013 partly to co-finance the Västsvenska paketet. Trafikverket’s reporting describes a financing model where the state covers half of a roughly 34 billion SEK programme, and regional co-financing — including congestion tax — covers the rest. Congestion-tax revenues are expected to contribute about 14 billion SEK over 25 years after operating and capital costs. Through 2024, cumulative congestion-tax revenues toward that package were reported at about 6.8 billion SEK, with roughly 7 billion SEK still needed afterward (adjusted for some EU support). In Stockholm, agreements similarly earmark surplus revenues for regional projects — historically including large road investments and later public-transport expansions described by Trafikverket. Primary sources: • Trängselskatt och infrastrukturavgifter – Trafikverket (https://www.trafikverket.se/resa-och-trafik/vag/trangselskatt-och-infrastrukturavgifter/) • Årsrapport Västsvenska paketet 2024 (PDF) – Trafikverket (https://bransch.trafikverket.se/contentassets/cafa8200c6fb4919a1aa32743d740955/250410-vastsvenska_paketet_arsrapport_2024-ta.pdf) How enforcement actually works Sweden’s congestion tax is camera-based. There is no sticker or on-board unit for domestic drivers: Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) at fixed gantries identifies the vehicle, and the registered owner is billed. Transportstyrelsen administers Swedish-registered vehicles via e-services, e-invoice, direct debit, or payment slip. For foreign-registered vehicles, Transportstyrelsen works with a notification partner (Epass24) that invoices owners abroad — a detail that surprises many visitors who discover the charge weeks later. Exempt categories include emergency vehicles, certain heavy buses (at least 14 tonnes), motorbikes and mopeds, and EC mobile cranes, among others listed by Transportstyrelsen. The live policy debate: price signal vs. habit Road pricing only works if the fee is large enough to change behaviour for a meaningful share of trips — or at least to push some trips off peak. Stockholm’s peak 45 SEK passage is not trivial, especially for drivers who cross the cordon twice a day and hit the daily cap. Gothenburg’s 60 SEK daily ceiling is softer; many regular drivers will land well below it if they avoid the 22 SEK bands. That difference raises a fair question for 2026: 1. Is Stockholm’s higher ceiling still justified by denser peak congestion and larger infrastructure commitments — or has the system become more of a revenue instrument than a congestion instrument? 2. Does Gothenburg’s single-charge rule make pricing fairer for short trips, or does it blunt the price signal for people who circle through several stations? 3. Should exemption calendars keep expanding? July freedom and holiday lists are popular, but every free day is a day without a peak-hour signal. There is also a fairness angle: suburban workers without good transit options pay a tax that inner-city residents with metro access can more easily avoid. Against that, residents and businesses inside the charged zone argue they still endure freight, delivery, and through-traffic that the tax only partly displaces. Sweden built two durable, camera-enforced, season-aware systems with public price lists and an explicit infrastructure co-finance story. In 2026, Stockholm still prices peak travel more aggressively (up to 45 SEK per passage, 135 SEK daily cap in peak season). Gothenburg prices lower (up to 22 SEK, 60 SEK daily cap) and softens multi-gantry trips with a 60-minute single-charge rule. Revenues remain politically tied to major regional packages, not just general government income. The harder metric for the late 2020s is whether the current tariffs still buy measurable peak-hour reliability while earmarked projects are delivered on the timelines voters were sold. Discussion question: If you commute in Stockholm or Gothenburg, would you rather see higher peak prices and freer off-peak roads, or lower daily caps even if queues stay roughly as they are — and why?

AI Gothenburg (ideell förening) hyr ~1 200 kvm i Stuveriet på Masthuggskajen. Hubben tar ingen ägarandel och plockar själv vilka tidiga AI-bolag som får plats — nära Göteborgs industri (mobilitet, energi, life science, tillverkning, maritim). Källa: https://www.nyaprojekt.se/2026/09/17/ai-gothenburg-oppnar-ny-hubb-pa-masthuggskajen-i-goteborg/ Fråga: är det här den coworking Göteborg saknade, eller behövs kapital/accelerator-muskler för att konkurrera med Stockholm?
I maj gjorde Västtrafiks självkörande buss premiärtur i linjetrafik i centrala Göteborg. Efter bara någon timme blev den påkörd bakifrån av en spårvagn. Transportstyrelsen drog in tillståndet. Nu skrotar Västtrafik hela den delen av piloten. Projektledaren Per Nyrenius till GP: trafiken i centrala Göteborg är för komplex för tekniken i dess nuvarande form. De vill fortfarande testa autonom kollektivtrafik — någon annanstans, i någon annan form. Så: var det en för tidig demo i världens värsta spårvagnsstad, eller beviset på att självkörande kollektivtrafik i tät stad fortfarande är PR mer än produkt?

AI Gothenburg öppnar hubb i Stena Fastigheters Stuveriet på Masthuggskajen (~1 200 kvm). Icke-vinstdrivande förening: de väljer bolagen själva och tar ingen equity. Business Region Göteborg säljer inkoppling till mobilitet, energi, life science, tillverkning och maritim teknik. Göteborg har redan Volvo/Zenseact-spåret och en massa AI-snack. Frågan är inte om adressen är fin — den är det. Frågan är om en hubb utan ägarandel faktiskt ökar antalet bolag som shippar produkt och hittar industri-kunder, eller om det mest blir ännu en våning med standup-fotografier. Om du bygger AI i Göteborg 2026: behöver du den här hubben, eller behöver du en kund inne på Lindholmen/Torslanda och folk som kan leverera? (Källa: Stena/Nya Projekt 17 sep 2026 — AI Gothenburg i Stuveriet.)

kalender.seToday: Göteborg W vs KIF Örebro WApple har sagt upp runt 200 personer kopplade till Vision Pro och Siri — gaming, immersiv video, security, ljud, testing, visionOS. Samtidigt rapporteras att nye VD:n John Ternus redan ifrågasätter hela headset-kategorin: för klumpig, för dyr, och han kan tänka sig att dumpa head-worn devices om glasögonen 2027 floppar. Vision Pro var Apples stora bet på "spatial computing". Nu ser det mer ut som en dyr lektion. Smart glasses (N50) är kvar i planen. Headset-efterföljaren sägs tidigast sent 2028 — om den överlever. Så: är det VR/AR som dör, eller bara Apples $3500-headset? Och om Ternus har rätt — vem i Göteborg-tech ska fortfarande bygga för Vision Pro?
