Kista Expo Center and Klövern are opening the doors of Sweden's most
central fair and event facility in the centre of Kista. After nearly
two years' construction and investments of over SEK 200 million,
Kista Expo Center is being inaugurated today.
Phase 1 of a total of three phases is being opened in new premises in
the heart of Kista Science City. The first phase consists of around
11,000 sq.m. of exhibition premises including a restaurant and a
conference facility. For a short period, the entrance to Kista Expo
Center will be temporarily located on Vågögatan.
Phase 2, which is expected to be completed in May 2009, will include
the large new entrance hall with access directly from Kistagången.
The third and final phase consists of the hotel which is being built
directly adjacent to Kista Expo Center."The Expo Center will be the natural meeting place that has been
lacking to date in Kista", says Klövern's CEO Gustaf Hermelin. "Both
the local business sector in Stockholm and large international
companies will have a suitable venue for their annual general
meetings, fairs and events, which will be extremely important for the
development of Kista and the whole of northern Stockholm."
Kista Expo Center has excellent communications. The metro runs to
Kista Centre and commuter trains to Helenelund station. There is also
a direct exit road from the E4 highway. Flygbussarna, the airport
coach company, is also opening a stop in time for the inauguration of
the Expo Center.
