The Swedish Armed Forces aim to ensure that the content on their websites is accessible and useful to as many people as possible. Therefore, the websites are designed to varying degrees to comply with international standards and the guidelines set by the Agency for Digital Government. In addition, there are high demands on security and the flawless operation of applications in the event of a crisis.

"Our ambition is to be a long-term partner that brings both expertise and experience to help the Swedish Armed Forces achieve their high ambitions with a strong focus on accessibility and security. We are very pleased to have earned the trust to be a key part of the continued digitalization journey of the defense sector," says Pernilla Vinneby, CEO of Knowit Experience in Sweden.

The primary mission of the Swedish Armed Forces is to protect Sweden and defend the country's freedom, but they also contribute to creating peace and security in other parts of the world. This places high demands on digital systems, services, and applications to always function seamlessly.

"Knowit has already been a central player for both military and civil defense, working closely with the Swedish Armed Forces, the Swedish Defense Materiel Administration, and the defense industry. We are proud to gain trust in yet another area, which we see as a testament to our credibility and ability to deliver technologically advanced solutions of high quality," says Per Wallentin, Group CEO of Knowit.

The new framework agreement represents a renewed and deepened relationship with the Swedish Armed Forces, involving technical development and management of external digital channels as well as implementation and maintenance of digital media. The contract spans two years, with the possibility of extension for an additional two years and has a maximum value of SEK 50 million.
