Sweden and Mexico have a long tradition of multilateral cooperation, but now is the time to strengthen bilateral ties and explore new growth opportunities. During this webinar, market experts and the Mexican Embassy in Sweden provide a comprehensive overview of the market, its opportunities, and challenges.

GO SPAIN!

As one of the fastest growing economies in Europe, Spain is an attractive market for Swedish companies, but also a commercial gateway to Latin America. Spain is the third largest recipient of greenfield projects in Europe, which creates great synergies and interesting business opportunities, especially through the green sustainable transition ongoing in the northern parts of Sweden, Finland & Norway. Sectors for potential cross-border trade and cooperation include for example ICT, automotive, aerospace, chemicals, banking, life science, healthcare, as well as digitalization, safety, and process optimization of the private and public sectors.

GO NORWAY!

Norway is one of Sweden’s most important trading partners in several areas and a given market with great business opportunities for many companies. As a nearby market with a relatively similar business culture, the step is not far but still associated with challenges. Norway is not part of the EU and the single market, which is why it is extra important to be well versed in import duties, VAT rules, regulations regarding company establishment, etc. The Swedish companies are not infreaquently surprised by this administrative hassle. During this webinar, leading experts will explore business opportunities and talk about how to navigate the Norwegian market, providing insights, business cases and best practices to companies seeking to expand into Norway.

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.

India declaring Sweden last year as one of twelve explicitly prioritized markets makes the potential for mutually beneficial business relations even better. With its expansive market and a growing middle class, India opens potential in most areas, whether it involves advanced manufacturing, outsourcing services, or the sale of industrial or consumer products.

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. It is hardly surprising that our most important trade partner is called Europe’s economic engine. 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.

GO NETHERLANDS!

Såsom närliggande marknad med stark köpkraft och konkurrenskraftigt affärsklimat anses det vara en mycket bra ingång till norra Europa bland svenska företag. Vad gäller affärskultur och språk så har svenska företag också relativt enkelt att etablera sig, varför det är ett naturligt steg efter hemma regionen Norden. Lyssna till experter och företag för en uppdatering kring marknaden och affärsmöjligheter!
