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.

All major cities in Sweden, Denmark and Norway are accessible by air or road transport from Sweden in less than 12 hours, making Sweden the preferred choice when companies consolidate distribution and warehousing activities in Northern Europe to one central location.
Sweden is the largest market with the largest economy and population in the Nordic region. It is a well-established test-bed market with an internet- and tech savvy growing population with high disposable income and a strong appetite for international brands. In recent years there’s been a continuous strong development in e-commerce.
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.
Sweden’s main manufacturing activities and most important export goods are vehicles and machines, pharmaceuticals/chemicals, electronics, minerals, wood products, energy, foods, shoes and clothes. The new technologies and biotechnologies sectors are also of significant importance in the economy.
Most of the global companies that have established operations in the Nordic region have chosen to locate their regional headquarters in Sweden. 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.
