Stena Center was founded in a historic location
The Chalmers Innovation Foundation was established in 1997 with the explicit purpose of promoting and developing new innovative and technology-based businesses in the Gothenburg area. In 1999 Sten A. Olsson foundation made a generous donation and made it possible to buy the old Holtermanska hospital in Landala. This generous donation from the Sten A. Olsson Foundation also enabled an extensive renovation of the property, which, in connection with this, was named 'Stena Center.'
From 1999 to 2020, Stena Center was located at the Holtermanska Hospital, opposite the main entrance of Chalmers. During these years, hundreds of startups have passed through these doors, each leaving with new experiences and insights.
In 2020, Stena Center took the next step and moved in to the Vasa area, inside Chalmers University of Technology, Johanneberg. Stena Center became neighbour with other entrepreneurial and innovative initiatives such as Founders Loft, Chalmers Ventures, Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship and more.
