Kindred spirits: Bcomp

Being an innovator means plenty of challenges. But it also means plenty of “eureka” moments.

When Swiss natural fiber firm Bcomp came up with the idea of using fully sustainable flax to create high-performance composite materials, it was one of these moments (or whatever the local equivalent of “eureka” is in Switzerland). 

When we came up with the idea of using these composites in the Polestar Precept, it was another one of these moments. Learn all about Bcomp above.

The Scandi Flick: How Sweden transformed rally driving

And today, we are lucky enough to talk to one of the greatest of them all: Stig Blomqvist.
