Ericsson, a global leader in telecommunications, is a cornerstone of the United States' digital infrastructure, providing trusted 5G connectivity across all 50 states. Currently, Ericsson-powered networks carry over 60% of all U.S. wireless traffic, making the company a vital partner in American national security and connectivity.
A central element of this commitment is the $150 million 5G Smart Factory in Lewisville, Texas. Designed to produce advanced radios and basebands, the facility utilizes smart and automated manufacturing tools to strengthen supply chain resilience. The impact of Ericsson’s investment has been significant, supporting more than 550 high-skilled jobs and ensuring that critical infrastructure is manufactured domestically for U.S. customers.
This collaboration is an excellent example of how Swedish innovation and American industry come together to drive technological leadership. Out of Ericsson’s broader U.S. investment, which includes $7.2 billion in strategic acquisitions, a significant share benefits a nationwide network of 12 R&D centers focused on AI, semiconductors, and future 6G technologies. These investments are expected to continue contributing to U.S. GDP, supporting high-skilled employment and generating substantial tax revenue.
By combining Ericsson’s engineering expertise with a commitment to domestic manufacturing, this partnership not only strengthens the United States’ role in the international technology sector but also drives sustained economic growth, innovation, and secure connectivity.

Amazon LEO: Boosting Sweden’s Space Industry
Amazon Leo, Amazon’s low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network, is partnering with the Swedish space technology company Beyond Gravity to develop and manufacture advanced satellite dispenser systems for its satellites…
-
The dispensers are produced at Beyond Gravity’s facility in Linköping, designed to safely deploy more than 3,000 satellites as part of Amazon Leo’s initial satellite constellation. The impact of Amazon’s investment on Beyond Gravity has been significant, facilitating the construction of new high-tech manufacturing facilities equipped with smart and automated manufacturing tools.
This collaboration is an excellent example of how American and Swedish innovation can come together to further strengthen Sweden’s space industry. Out of Amazon’s publicly announced initial investment of over $10 billion in Amazon Leo, an estimated €2.6 billion (26%) will be directed to the EU space sector, with a significant share benefiting Swedish industry. The partnership is expected to contribute €185 million to Sweden’s GDP between 2022 and 2029, support an average of 141 jobs per year, and generate over €57 million in tax revenue for the Swedish government over the same period.
By combining Amazon’s global reach and investment with Swedish engineering expertise, this partnership not only strengthens Sweden’s role as a key player in the international space industry, but also drives economic growth, innovation, and job creation.
