Sweden — New opportunities have opened in the form of Hitachi Energy Sweden for thousands of former Northvolt employees who faced job insecurity after being laid off by the Swedish battery giant and foreign experts who intend to move to Sweden.

With many foreign workers potentially forced to leave Sweden if they are unable to find new employment within 3-months of losing their jobs due to their status as labor migrants, Tobias Hansson, CEO of Hitachi Energy Sweden, notes the stress among these workers.

Hitachi Energy, which is expanding rapidly in the green energy sector, is growing by 100-150 employees per month. The company, which acquired ABB's business, plans to double its workforce to 8,000 by early 2027 and as such opens up new opportunities for job seekers in Sweden and abroad.

Hitachi Energy has already hired around 50 former Northvolt employees, with another hundred applications received. Hansson emphasizes that the skills of former Northvolt employees are well-suited to Hitachi Energy, making the transition beneficial for both companies.
