HiQ Supports the Modernization of the National Library of Sweden

HiQ has been selected as one of three suppliers in the National Library of Sweden's framework agreement for IT consultancy services. As part of this assignment, HiQ will contribute with expertise in areas such as system development, IT security, and digital services. The aim is to support the library’s important mission of making Sweden's cultural heritage and scientific publications more accessible.

The National Library’s work involves preserving and providing access to everything published in Sweden – from manuscripts, books, and newspapers to music, television programs, and images. The library is also responsible for promoting and coordinating the work of open access to scientific publications in Sweden. Additionally, it operates KB-Labb, a national infrastructure for digital research and development in artificial intelligence.

The framework agreement for IT consultancy services, which spans four years starting in 2025, is part of the National Library’s initiative to modernize and strengthen its digital infrastructure.

“Contributing to the National Library’s work in developing a secure and sustainable digital infrastructure is a fantastic opportunity. By combining our technical expertise with the library’s vision, we can jointly create solutions that simplify and enable both researchers and the public to access our shared digital resources,” says David Sandberg, Business Area Manager Public at HiQ.

The National Library aims to provide equal access to its digital collections for society at large, which requires a robust and sustainable digital infrastructure. To achieve this, the pace of digitization must increase, and with the help of AI, already digitized but yet undescribed materials will be made accessible.

“HiQ has extensive experience in developing digital solutions for public organizations. We look forward to contributing our expertise and dedication to meet the high demands for functionality, security, and long-term sustainable development that this critical infrastructure requires,” concludes David Sandberg.
