GO INDIA!

The superlatives can be many when talking about India: it’s the world’s most populated country, has the fastest-growing major economy, and is projected to rank as the third largest economy by 2027. India is indeed a market that most companies should consider – and have a strategy for.

GO GERMANY!

Germany is the world’s fourth largest industrialized country with 84 million residents. The average purchasing power per capita exceeds that of Sweden, and four German regions have a higher GDP than our country in total.

The economic ties between Sweden and Germany are strong, and more than 1 500 Swedish companies and subsidiaries are already on the German market. Germany is also the country that invests the most in Sweden, with over 1 000 subsidiaries in the Swedish market. Germany is a country with strong and well-functioning value chains, and it can be a challenge for Swedish companies to find a place within these value chains, whereby it is important to be well prepared before entering the market and have the know how to navigate the regional differences within the German market.
