Get in touch with our investment team to begin the process. Our services are free of charge, and there’s no obligation.
Sweden attracts investment predominantly across seven industries: batteries, digital technologies, energy, industrials, life sciences, materials, and transport. Strong energy security, engineering expertise, and world-class research make Sweden especially competitive for energy-intensive, industrial, and science-led industries, as well as robotics, automation, and applied AI.
Business Sweden connects you to the ecosystem. We can introduce you to regional partners and their local networks, industry clusters, research institutes, and universities that supply world-class research talent, plus vetted professional services (legal, audit, bookkeeping, and payroll). Tell us what you need, and we can route you to the right partners.
It depends on your industry and operational needs. Business Sweden recommends the right location based on proximity to talent, energy, logistics, or research clusters. Find available sites through our interactive map, site finder tool, or tell us your requirements and we’ll shortlist the right regions for you.
Setting up starts with choosing a company form, usually a private limited company or a branch. Then register with the relevant authorities, set up tax registration and financial reporting, establish local operations, and ensure compliance. Sweden’s framework is clear and predictable. Business Sweden’s establishment guide outlines the key steps, decisions, and set-up options for each stage.
Employment in Sweden runs on well-defined rules covering contracts, working conditions, and collective agreements, with a clear framework for employers. We’ll guide you through social-security contributions and, for international staff, work and residence permits. Tax relief is available for key foreign employees. Business Sweden's guides detail contracts, permits, and conditions.
Sweden ranks second in the world for innovation according to the WIPO Global Innovation Index, and spends 3.57% of GDP on R&D, the highest in the EU.
