Doing Business in Sweden

Information on business opportunities in Sweden (in Italian) can be found at InfoMercatiEsteri, managed by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. The platform, which is accessible free of charge, is designed to meet the information needs of Italian economic operators on foreign markets. In the dedicated section called Osservatorio economico, there are also concise statistical analyses of key macroeconomic indicators and trade data.

We also suggest that you visit Export.gov.it, public portal for accessing export services, which allows companies to quickly find their way around the initiatives and training and information resources made available by the MFA, the Italian Trade Agency, SACE and SIMEST. Through collaboration with regions, Chambers of commerce and Italian National Promotional Institution, the portal supports companies in exploring the opportunities offered by international markets.

This tool provides companies with strategic information on the global procurement market and support in finding new business opportunities.
