Key facts

OpenTech was founded as a cluster organisation in 2009 by Ericsson, Sony, Telia, Lund University, Malmö University, and Region Skåne. We were initially called Mobile Heights, but changed our identity when updating our strategy in 2024 to better reflect our focus on tech.

OpenTech is co-funded by the regional government, Region Skåne. We are owned by our members, who help set our organisational priorities to help current and potential members thrive.

OpenTech has been awarded the European ECEI Gold Label for cluster excellence, based on our continued demonstration of “a high level of professionalism and sophisticated cluster management”.
