    Dear all,
    Here´s the latest news from The Swedish Wire.

    For the third year running Sweden has topped one of the world’s most prestigious information technology rankings, thanks to its ability to leverage IT and telecoms.

    The country has also become a global hotspot for video games. The popularity of games like Stardoll, Battlefield and Minecraft has helped build Stockholm’s reputation as a world hub for computer game developers.

    Rovio, the company behind the world’s most popular mobile phone game, Angry Birds, is looking for a Swedish workforce to staff a new games studio that will open in Stockholm.
