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. Sweden offers access to new products and technologies, skills and innovations, as well as an attractive location and gateway to Northern Europe/the Baltic Sea region.

Low levels of corporate tax, the absence of withholding tax on dividends and a favorable holding company regime combine to make Sweden particularly attractive for doing business.

The Swedish growth rate is in the EU’s upper range, trade is at record levels and there is an international confidence in the Swedish economy.
