Hundredth Anniversary Swedish Tenn Wins Government's Export Prize for Cultural and Creative Industries 2023.

Aid and Foreign Trade Minister Johan Forssell handed out the prize, a trip to Expo Osaka 2025, at a ceremony in the Blue Salon at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Stockholm with the motivation: "Swedish Tenn has over its hundred-year history become a cultural institution in Sweden. By standing firm on the idea of sustainability over time and combining older craftsmanship traditions with modern technology, the company remains relevant to constantly new generations."

Glass artist Hanna Hansdotter was appointed Artist of the Year.

The government's export prize for the cultural and creative industries has been awarded since 2017 to highlight efforts in Swedish export and promoting Sweden as an innovative and creative country.
