> interesting work on the forefront of technology

What sort of interesting work is not possible in Sweden? I've worked in many tech hubs and am now in Stockholm; Oxford, London, Palo Alto, etc, and haven't noticed anything

My impression is that the more ambitious and intellectually demanding the less of a chance you will see it succeed in Sweden, at least if its software. So sure, if you want to build a consumer app that plays music or lets you talk to friends then Sweden is great. If you want to build OpenAI, then not so much.
