Interview with Thomas Swahn highlights Myfab’s role – Semiconductor 2026

Thomas Swahn

During Elektronikmässan in Gothenburg, Thomas Swahn, Director of Myfab took part in an on‑site interview sharing insights into Myfab’s mission and Sweden’s national capabilities in micro‑ and nanofabrication. The conversation focused on how Myfab provides companies across Sweden with access to advanced manufacturing environments, enabling innovation, technology development, and industrial growth.

In the interview, Thomas Swahn highlighted the importance of shared research infrastructure for strengthening Sweden’s semiconductor ecosystem and supporting companies at different stages of development. He also reflected on how access to cutting‑edge fabrication facilities helps translate research into real‑world applications.

Thomas Swahn also participated in the conference programme. Semiconductor 2026 gathered leaders from industry, academia, government, and research institutes to discuss Sweden’s strategic role in the European semiconductor landscape, including national priorities, the EU Chips Act, and collaboration across the value chain.
By showcasing Myfab’s work through both the conference programme and the on‑site interview, the discussion underscored the critical role of national research infrastructure in enabling innovation, developing talent, and accelerating technological progress in the semiconductor field.
