We’re proud to share that Helsingborg Development Lab has been named one of this year’s Företagsstjärnor (Company Stars) by Helsingborgs Stad.

This recognition is more than a title — it’s a meaningful nod to the work our entire team has put in over the years to make innovation, design, and technology not only a craft but a force for regional and global impact.

Why this matters

Since 2014, Helsingborgs Stad has awarded just under 200 companies with the Företagsstjärna distinction. The award is given to those who actively contribute to the city’s long-term vision: Helsingborg 2035 — a forward-looking initiative that aims to position Helsingborg as one of Europe’s most innovative, sustainable, and inclusive cities.

In their motivation, the city highlighted HDL as:

“A motor in the creative and global city. By accelerating ideas and building bridges between technology and the market, you strengthen the region’s competitiveness and connect customers globally. You show how the power of innovation can push boundaries and drive transformation — both locally and globally.”

This speaks directly to our mission.

We’re not just building software or designing beautiful interfaces — we’re helping companies grow, adapt, and become smarter in a digital-first world. And we’re doing it with a unique model that connects local knowledge with global talent.

A shared achievement — from Helsingborg to Kathmandu

One aspect of the award that means a lot to us is the city’s recognition of our international team in Nepal and the exchange program we’ve established between Helsingborg and Kathmandu.

This cross-border collaboration isn’t just a side note in our operations — it’s a core strength. It’s what allows us to scale quickly, bring fresh perspectives into projects, and create opportunities for cultural exchange and professional growth.

Our Nepali team isn’t just “offshore support” — they’re embedded in our strategy, involved in decision-making, and contribute daily to the innovation that powers our platforms and solutions. That this work is being acknowledged by the city of Helsingborg is something we are genuinely proud of.

Looking ahead

This award energizes us to keep pushing forward. It reminds us that business success is not just about growth metrics — it’s about responsibility, impact, and building the kind of company we’d want to work with ourselves.

To our clients, collaborators, and team members across continents — thank you. Let’s keep building something remarkable together.
