Abstract
Sweden has a long tradition of radio and antenna projects, and Gothenburg is one of the most important regions for antenna competence in Europe. It was not a coincidence that the 7th European Conference on Antennas and Propagation took place in Gothenburg, Sweden, April 8¿12, 2013. With Claes Beckman as Chair, nine historically-oriented papers were presented in a workshop covering antenna developments in Sweden, from the Grimeton radio station, SAQ (a UNESCO World Heritage spot), to spin-off companies based on successful research performed in the region.
