Koenigsegg Expansion : Koenigsegg has opened a new car factory in Sweden, the first in the country in 50 years, which will increase production by over 50 percent and allow them to build one car per day instead of one per week. The expansion is driven by the success of their Gemera model and has led to the doubling of their workforce from 300 to 600 employees, with plans to hire an additional 150 people in the next two years.

Strained waterworks in Skåne : The waterworks' capacity in Skåne, Sweden, including the Ringsjöverket plant, may reach its limit during peak usage times, prompting warnings to save water. The facility supplies water to several municipalities, but increased water usage in the summer can strain the system. While there is no immediate risk of water shortage due to the large lake that supplies the facility, saving water is encouraged to avoid strain on the infrastructure and potential increased fees.
