Access North Sweden

Background

For Northern Sweden to fully benefit from the ongoing green transformation, it is crucial to attract not only large companies but also SMEs and scaleups. This requires a structured and attractive soft landing program that can offer comprehensive support and resources for these companies. By taking inspiration from international successful programs and adapting them to the specific conditions in Northern Sweden, the project can create an environment that not only attracts but also supports international companies in their establishment and growth.

Objectives

The project’s objective is to further develop previous soft landing programs to attract scaleups and established companies to Northern Sweden with a focus on the European market.

Offer – Soft Landing

This can eventually contribute to larger one-stop shops for permit processes according to the Net-Zero Industry Act.
