When Northvolt on Wednesday received the first machines for its giant battery factory, the company management met the ship's load on an electric boat.

The electric boat manufacturer X Force, which pushed the line out, was on hand to show itself and seek new collaborations for the company.

- Very exciting things are happening here now, states the electric boat manufacturer's founder Konrad Bergström.

This can be seen in the local startup project Accelerate Skellefteå, where Peter Karlstén says he is overwhelmed by how much interest there has been.

- Large industries are attracted by Northvolt, but also smaller ones that can become large in the long run, he states.
