Ok, if you push me, let me give you some examples of companies I 
like... Hmm... ok, I'd say Concentric is a swedish company that does good 
work. And possibly, for the consumer/SMB space, Fortnox. Most, if not all, 
the brands we all know and love, peaked many decades ago.

There are two neobanks, Avanza and Nordnet who are just about to take 
their first stumbling steps outside of the swedish market. They are quite 
alright as well.
