# Startup Sweden appoint Defentry as the winner of their accelerator programme

Defentry aim to revolutionise the cyber security industry with advanced technology and qualitative data.

Startup Sweden is an accelerator programme for Sweden’s hottest startups, powered by the  
governmental Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth to support new digital companies.

Defentry has been through an enormous journey the past quarter. We have signed new deals with market-leading partners and taken in growth capital.

*"We are very humble and happy about our success this quarter. There’s clearly a need for our services on the market, and we believe that current players on the market are not performing well enough to meet customer expectations and demands.*

*One of our objectives is to grow, so we take all possibilities given to us to meet with new customers and **investors. We are therefore very grateful and proud to have been awarded a spot at Startup*  
*Sweden’s accelerate program."* said co-founder Christer Hernestig.
