Research at Sectra

Let's talk

Ever since the company was spun-off from Linköping University, scientific advances have formed the basis for Sectra’s commercial solution development. A core strategy is to embrace the latest academic achievements, while achieving our own scientific breakthroughs.

The research conducted at Sectra is a vital part of the company’s innovation efforts. A team of scientists, most with PhD degrees, develop knowledge, methods and prototypes that pave the way for product development. This work is carried out in close collaboration with academic, healthcare and cybersecurity professionals all over the world. Our main scientific domains are artificial intelligence, image analysis, visualization, human-computer-interaction, informatics, post-quantum IT security and risk-based, change-oriented security.
