The Sven Tyrén Trust was founded in 1976. Today the Trust annually finances a number of projects and the research of aspiring PhDs and professors in the development of the community planning sector.
Sven Tyrén was a visionary and an entrepreneur who constantly strived for development and new ideas. He questioned working methods and initiated changes that brought his own company to the fore of the business, all the while further developing the construction methods, the materials and the accounting methods used in community planning, while keeping his focus on the business deal and increasing the profits of his company.
The trust was founded so that Tyréns could work independently with research and development. Sven Tyrén's intentions for the trust was that the 'trust would own and administer the consulting business' and that the 'independency that the consulting business is assured through this kind of ownership, will allow for an independent development that will lead to a high level of technological skill and impartial counselling'.
