Kista

Kista is a district of Stockholm Municipality in Sweden. Located northwest of central Stockholm, it is divided by the Stockholm Metro blue line into a western part which is primarily a working class and middle class residential area, and an eastern part occupied by commercial ventures, mostly in the telecommunication and information technology industry. Kista hosts departments of both Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University (formerly jointly known as "the IT University"). Because of its ICT industries, it became referred to as Chipsta or Sweden's Silicon Valley in the 1980s.
