Driven by knowledge and passion, our vision is to contribute to a healthier and safer society
Sectra offers solutions for medical IT and cybersecurity. We help hospitals and those who are training future healthcare personnel to improve their efficiency so that patients receive better care. We support defense forces, other authorities and various critical social functions in securing their communication against eavesdropping and protecting their systems against unauthorized access. This is how we create conditions for a healthier and safer society.
The desire to change society for the better has driven Sectra for over 45 years. During this time, we have retained our entrepreneurial spirit and realized ideas and innovations in close cooperation with end users.
Sectra offers products and services within medical IT and cybersecurity. The industries we have chosen are characterized by a tendency to grow regardless of the economic climate and by the fact that stable products and trust in suppliers are essential to customers.
Our work is based on a strong corporate culture that engages and motivates employees to do what is best for customers. Our work is guided by a desire for satisfied customers and employees—in that order. Add to this a clear vision of where the company is headed, perseverance and cost awareness. Sectra’s development over the years is a testament to what a strong combination this is.
The overall purpose of our business operations is to solve major social problems that must be addressed in the foreseeable future. For our customers, this is primarily about challenges related to two global trends: an aging population and digitization. Our job is to help customers become more efficient and give them the tools needed to provide patients with high-quality care and increase cybersecurity in society.
The aging population of the industrialized world entails a major challenge for healthcare. At the same time, the working age population is in decline. For fewer people to be able to take care of an increasing number of elderly patients with considerable needs, healthcare must become more efficient.
A higher degree of digitization in all areas of society is contributing to efficiency enhancements and simplifying people’s everyday lives. However, this trend also makes societies more vulnerable to human error, information leaks, unauthorized data access and cyberattacks. This is particularly the case in the defense forces, healthcare and other critical social functions.
A strong corporate culture is the foundation for how we create value for our customers, our employees, society at large and thereby our shareholders. The Sectra culture revolves around customer needs and a long-term approach to everything we do.
Sectra’s sustainability efforts are directly linked to our vision and mission statements. Helping customers to improve the efficiency and quality of patient care and increase cybersecurity in critical social functions is Sectra’s most significant contribution to a more sustainable society.
Sectra was founded in 1978 by a team of researchers at Linköping University. Our business operations have been formed by passionate founders and employees with a genuine belief that its expertise and technology can be used to change society for the better. The founders’ vision—that Sectra would become an international information security and medical IT company—has become a reality.
