About Sweden
There are few countries that can match Sweden's potential
to benefit from the intensifying, technology-driven global
competition. Sweden already hosts one of the most internationally
integrated economies in the world. The nation's competitiveness
is manifested by large flows of trade and foreign investment.
Globalization calls for an ability to change. Necessary restructuring
of the Swedish economy is facilitated by the presence of a
qualified, adaptable workforce. Sweden's developed welfare
institutions and good relations between employers and labor
unions provide the foundation for social cohesion when changes
are desirable.
Sweden has long traditions in emphasizing the virtues of
education. Schools and universities meet high international
standards. The Swedish society is innovative and distinguished
by the widespread and often ingenious use of information technology.
Foreign investors have discovered Sweden's many business
and investment opportunities. Sweden offers access to new
products and technologies, skills and innovations. Sweden
also offers an attractive location, serving as a gateway to
three disinct markets.
- Scandinavia (25 million consumers)
- Baltic Sea Region (100 million consumers)
- European Union (350 million consumers)
