Over the years, the family has made substantial contributions to research and education through various Wallenberg foundations.
“We at IPCO are very proud to be part of the Wallenberg Ecosystem, a group of foundations and holding companies set up by the Wallenberg family. By designing, building and servicing innovative equipment and steel belts, through the Wallenberg foundations, we enable funding for Swedish research and innovation in areas such as sustainability, AI and medicine.”
