Sustainable growth through trade and development  

Sweden has a long-standing commitment to development aid as a central part of its global engagement. Sweden’s development efforts aim to create better conditions for people in DAC-eligible countries and serve as an important tool in Sweden’s foreign policy.  

Business Sweden works to create synergy between trade and development by focusing on improving conditions in partner countries by helping companies contribute to green and/or digital transformation all while strengthening Swedish export and growth. Trade and development converge in the export promotion strategy, focusing on solving global challenges while offering Swedish companies the opportunity to contribute.  

Business Sweden can connect Swedish companies with DAC-eligible countries through strategic partnerships with international organizations, financial institutions, and government bodies. When Swedish sustainability leadership aligns with targeted development initiatives, real and long-term impact is achieved. We strengthen Swedish export opportunities while supporting global transformation.
