The keys have been handed over to World of Volvo

This Wednesday the keys were handed over to World of Volvo – the new experience center in Gothenburg. The 22 000 m² premises is located in Gothenburg's newest event district and will accommodate everything from exhibitions to food, conferences and music events.

The first sod for World of Volvo was taken in February 2021, and the local construction company BRA Bygg have since then been working intensively to create the new landmark of Gothenburg. With a construction consisting of over 2800 tons of wood from Sweden, Austria and Germany and massive glass panes, the iconic building has taken shape. Now it’s time to focus on the inside.

– We see this as a milestone and are extremely happy to finally have the keys in our hands. We’ve been longing to move in and prepare all the exciting content for Volvo’s new meeting place, says Magnus Wrahme, CEO of World of Volvo.

World of Volvo is a joint commitment between Volvo Cars and Volvo Group, with the ambition to create a place for meetings between people and ideas. In the heart of the establishment, the 5000 m² exhibition will take the visitor through both Volvos heritage and into the future with iconic vehicles and groundbreaking innovations with a human centric focus.

Götaplatsgruppen will run both the restaurants at World of Volvo, under the name Ceno - and with the rennomated chef Stefan Karlsson at the helm.

World of Volvo is opening for the public on April 14th 2024.
