Finalists Announced for the Grand Award of Design 2025

The Grand Award of Design is a prestigious Swedish honor that recognizes products and services excelling in creativity, sustainability, innovation, functionality, and business potential.

The finalists for this year’s award have now been selected. The juries in both the Gold and Pioneer categories have chosen three outstanding finalists in each category. Organized by Teknikföretagen in collaboration with Techarena, the Grand Award of Design celebrates innovations that drive both business success and sustainable progress.

“The jury work for this year’s Grand Award of Design was truly exciting. The range of products was impressive — both in scope and in quality — which made the selection process somewhat challenging. What really stood out this year was the remarkable strength of the design process across all companies, and how deeply it influenced each product. We’re very pleased with the three finalists we’ve now selected,” says Julia Valentin, Head of Communications, Teknikföretagen, and jury member in the Gold category.

Mikaela Larsell Ayesa, Investor Relations at Techarena and Jury member in the Pioneer Category, commented:

“Every year the competition grows stronger, and 2025 was no exception. The range and quality of this year’s entries clearly show how Swedish design continues to combine innovation with impact, from advanced engineering to everyday sustainability.”
