Totalförsvarsmässan begins a strategic partnership with Team Marin. The collaboration links Sweden’s largest maritime resource network — with over 700 vetted subcontractors — to the country’s new meeting place for total defense.
Team Marin is today Sweden’s largest maritime resource network, offering extensive operational capacity in marine and near-shore environments. The network includes more than 700 subcontractors with quality-assured skills and resources tailored for assignments across both civilian and military activities.
– The maritime dimension is crucial for Sweden’s total defense, from logistics and infrastructure to operational endurance and preparedness. Through the partnership with Team Marin we gain not only access to a strong network but also tangible capacity and specialist expertise. This is a clear example of how civilian and military defense can cooperate in practice, which is the core of Totalförsvarsmässan, says Monika Johannesen Widholm, Head of Event Unit Resilience & Mobility at Stockholmsmässan.
As part of the partnership, Team Marin will actively mobilize its network before and during the fair, aiming to bring together relevant actors from industry, authorities and the defense sector.
– We built Team Marin to rapidly mobilize the right resources when they are needed most. Connecting our network to Totalförsvarsmässan is therefore a natural step. This gives our subcontractors the opportunity to meet key decision‑makers, form new collaborations and help strengthen Sweden’s total defense in practice, says Jens Johansson, CEO of Team Marin.
