Business Support Internationalization is a tailored opportunity for SME companies to work together with local consultants in one by the company selected market outside Sweden. It can be about completely new internationalization efforts or follow-ups to previous efforts.

The actual needs of the companies govern what the effort will include. But the efforts can entail for example market entry strategy, market growth strategy, market research & choice, benchmarking, competition analysis, partner search, distributor search, customer search, market penetration, practical establishment, etc.

The tailored process is fully managed by Norrbotten Chamber of Commerce in cooperation with our partners and internationalization experts. The range of support may vary in accordance with company needs and is made possible through EU-funding, as well as national and regional development funds, in efforts to empower global competitiveness of companies in Norrbotten.

Applying companies are required to commit time and resources to ensure a successful process. Please note that companies applying for support will go through a selection process and are subject to EU de minimis regulation. There is no separate fee for participation from the company, but the company is responsible for its travel expenses for relevant meetings and similar efforts.

The company’s participation in this program (Step 1) is valued at a (de minimis) amount of SEK 95 000 excl. VAT. This corresponds approximately eight (8) days of external consulting in one by the company selected growth market outside Sweden, with the reservation that the support needs to be tailored to specific company needs.
