On October 19, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia attended the presentation of the Marcus Wallenberg Prize, which recognises scientific discoveries in forest industry research. As King Carl Gustaf and Crown Princess Victoria were occupied with the state visit from Singapore, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia stepped in to represent them at the ceremony.
The 2026 Marcus Wallenberg Prize was awarded to Professor Holger Militz for his groundbreaking work on sustainable wood modification techniques and the industrial commercialisation of sustainable wood protection methods. During the ceremony, Prince Carl Philip presented the award to Professor Militz.
The Marcus Wallenberg Prize is awarded annually in recognition of scientific discoveries in forest industry research. The prize was established in 1980 by Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags AB, now Stora Enso, where Marcus Wallenberg (1899–1982) served as chairman of the board.
