For nearly four decades, the Myfab KTH / Electrum Laboratory in Kista has been at the forefront of research and development—especially in semiconductors, an increasingly critical component in everything from mobile phones to electric cars. As Europe ramps up its efforts to strengthen regional value chains, Electrum is taking on a key role.

But what does it really take to build a lab of this scale? To find out, we went to Kista, put on protective gear, and got a behind-the-scenes look at the work in progress.
