Team Sweden will promote Swedish exports and make it simple for Swedish companies to establish themselves in the export market. The export support includes advice, financing, marketing and the long-term development of Swedish industry.

SEK is a part of Team Sweden, which consists of 19 authorities and organizations. Team Sweden can take different forms and the relevant parties work together to coordinate the Swedish export support that is required.

Swedish companies contribute to global projects

Team Sweden collaborate to increase Swedish deliveries to international infrastructure projects. The main purpose is creating good relationships with large international construction companies to increase export opportunities for Swedish companies.

Swedfund can finance prestudies for countries that are in need of investments. The investments can help in a wide range of areas like energy, infrastructure, waste management and special constructions such as hospitals or irrigation. If Swedish companies get the opportunity to contribute to the project, SEK and EKN will be there to help finance it.
