Skellefteå, Urban area in Västerbotten County, Sweden.

Situated along the Skellefte River, Skellefteå combines industrial development with extensive forest areas and connects to the Bothnian Bay through a 15-kilometer stretch.

Founded in 1845 by Nils Nordlander, this northern Swedish settlement developed from a mining center into a significant industrial hub during the 1950s.

The city maintains strong athletic traditions through its ice hockey team, Skellefteå AIK, which competes at the highest national level and holds multiple championships.

The European route E4 highway serves as the primary transportation artery, while local bus networks provide connections to regional destinations and neighboring cities.

Manufacturing facilities in Skellefteå produce electric car batteries and sustainable steel, supported by investments reaching 100 billion dollars in green technology projects.
