Sweden – an excellent logistic hub for northern Europe
The fast growing Stockholm region is the epicenter of one of Northern Europe’s most important logistic hub. All major Scandinavian destinations can be reached within 2 hours by air and 24-hour distribution is possible throughout the entire Baltic Sea region. This makes it the best location for deliveries to Scandinavia and the Baltic region.
The Gothenburg region is an important import and export hub, with a sustainably oriented infrastructure. The port of Gothenburg is the largest in Scandinavia and 30 percent of all Swedish foreign trade passes through the port of Gothenburg. From Göteborg Landvetter Airport all major European capitals are no more than two hours away. 70 percent of Scandinavia's total industrial capacity is located within 500 km radius of the Gothenburg region.

Sweden is the largest market with the largest economy and population in the Nordic region.

Sweden is also the largest exporter in Scandinavia and Swedish industry is export driven. The industrial sector is dominated by groups such as ABB, AstraZeneca, Electrolux, Ericsson, GE Healthcare, H&M, Ikea, Saab, Sandvik, Scania and Volvo.

Stockholm, the capital, is Europe’s third biggest hub for global headquarters, of which foreign companies account for 85 percent. It is also the largest corporate market and financial hub in the Nordics.
