We are hundreds of competencies, thousands of people, and generations of experience that together secure, care for, inspire, teach, save lives, think innovatively, move cities, support each other, and take care of people. With pride and care. From mountains to city. Today and tomorrow for a vibrant Kiruna. There is something beautiful in that.
