Saab returns to Glitched 2026 - with bigger challenges and its own esports teams
We can finally reveal that one of last year's most popular guests will return to Elmia this summer. Saab, the global tech giant, steps into Glitched on 12-15 June to show that the line between advanced engineering and gaming is thinner than you think.
After the success of the inaugural year, Saab is now returning to Glitched 2026. This means more technology, more challenges and the chance to compete against their own employees in tournaments.
