Innovatum Science Park in Trollhättan is situated on the historic industrial site formerly occupied by NOHAB and Saab Automobile, serving today as a symbol of the region's successful economic transition.

The park facilitates a network of over 400 companies and provides a platform for research in automation and additive manufacturing. Key attractions include a Science Center for children aimed at promoting STEM education, and the adjacent Saab Car Museum, which preserves the city's rich industrial heritage.
