Photo: Margareta Bloom Sandebäck/Imagebank.sweden.se Pioneering the way forward in the green transition Sweden stands out as a leader in the green transition. Our country is powered almost entirely by fossil-free electricity, while also offering the cheapest energy in the EU. Thanks to an early carbon tax and a unique climate policy framework, Sweden's GDP has increased even as emissions have decreased. Companies like Ericsson, Spotify, and Volvo showcase how Sweden combines industrial excellence with sustainable development.
Freedom and trust foster creativity We build trust, not just business. Working closely with Swedish organisations offers a short-cut to sustainability and prosperity – for individuals, businesses and countries alike. With low levels of corruption and strong legal protections, Sweden’s business culture is based on trust and collaboration. Flat hierarchies and independence equal space for creativity.
Our innovation climate is defined by openness, collaboration, and a willingness to explore new ideas. Swedes have been behind a wealth of inventions that have changed the world – from the match and the adjustable spanner to Spotify. And the world is brimming with creative solutions – lets unlock them together with others.
Photo: Margareta Bloom Sandebäck/imagebank.sweden.se Sweden as a career destination One of our main assets is human capital, characterised by a well-educated workforce, high levels of digital maturity, and work-life-balance. We invest strategically in education, research, and innovation, ensuring a fertile breeding ground for future entrepreneurs, start-ups and scale-ups. Sweden is one of the world’s leaders when it comes to producing unicorn companies.
Sweden as a study destination Sweden offers over 1,000 full degree programmes for international students interested in studying in Sweden. Most degree programmes are at the master’s level and appeal to international students interested in high quality education as well as an appealing quality of life.
