The Team Sweden framework
Team Sweden is a network of government agencies, financial institutions, and organisations that offer comprehensive support to Swedish businesses.
Key partners working with our Trade & Development division are:
- The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) – government agency for development assistance via financing, networks and aid.
- Swedfund – state institution for development finance focused on sustainable investments.
- Swedish Export Credit Agency (EKN) – government authority that guarantees export credit for risk minimisation.
- Swedish Export Credit Corporation (SEK) – state-owned company that offers long-term financing for export companies.
- Sweden’s embassies and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs – officials providing diplomatic support, roundtable discussions and G2G agreements.
- Multilateral organisations – global stakeholders such as the World Bank, UN agencies and regional development banks.
- Private sector institutions – Swedish companies and industry organisations that want to grow sustainably in new markets.
Business Sweden connects these stakeholders to create real change.
How Team Sweden collaborates for trade and development
Business Sweden coordinates integrated cooperation between Swedish companies and organisations linked to local development needs through a so-called “public-private partnership”. This creates synergy between trade and development, as stakeholders within Team Sweden contribute their expertise.
