TCS, a leading IT company, has recently launched its Pace Studio in Stockholm, marking its first foray into the Nordic region. This new innovation hub will serve as a platform for customers in the Nordic region to access TCS’s innovation ecosystem and collaborate on solving problems and creating new business opportunities.
The TCS Pace Studio in Stockholm is part of a global network that includes studios in Riyadh, Sydney, and Letterkenny, as well as ports in Tokyo, Amsterdam, New York, Pittsburgh, Toronto, London, and Paris. These innovation hubs are designed to foster a startup culture and provide a space for collaboration and creativity.
Located in the Epicenter House of Innovation, the TCS Pace Studio in Stockholm will offer a range of innovation capabilities, including consulting, design, and implementation. This will enable regional customers to explore new ideas, develop innovative solutions, and refine their business strategies.

TCS’s new space is an excellent representation of our mission as an innovation house to fuel collaboration between enterprises and future-focused leaders in the Swedish business environment.”
The TCS Pace Studio in Stockholm will leverage TCS’s methodologies, global insights, research, intellectual property, and its Co-Innovation Network (COIN) to facilitate collaboration among local startups, entrepreneurs, and academia. This will enable Swedish organizations to work closely with TCS’s research and innovation ecosystem to develop novel solutions across various disciplines.
