  • Summary

  • In today’s episode of Sweden Unlocked, we explore the financial side of graduation celebrations in Sweden, focusing on the iconic student cap. Investment firm Röko owns the country’s three largest cap suppliers, generating close to 200 million kronor in combined revenue. While the caps symbolize academic achievement, their high costs—sometimes exceeding 6,000 kronor—have sparked criticism. Allegations of cartel behavior and consumer pressure further complicate the picture. Join us as we delve into this intersection of tradition, commerce, and controversy.
