I think Stockholm does have more startups than the rest of Sweden, though, so there is probably more to it. The article understates the size of Stockholm a bit though. As measured by urban area it’s a city of 2.5 million.

Not only that, but within a one hour drive are Västerås and Uppsala, big cities in Sweden's scale.

The former hosts ABB and has tons of robotics related research, the latter has one of the major universities. The startup scene is smaller in Västerås than in Uppsala though.

Uppsala produced Klarna and Skype, Västerås produced Pingdom, to name some.
