Strategic Projects are large-scale international investments and business opportunities where Swedish companies can contribute with innovative solutions, world-leading technology, and specialist expertise.
These projects and deals are often complex and long-term in nature, and of significant value to both participating companies and Sweden's export agenda.
Typical sectors include:
Business Sweden's Strategic Projects team supports companies throughout the project lifecycle, from the earliest opportunity identification to business development and market positioning.
We help companies:
Winning major international projects often requires more than a competitive solution. It requires access to expertise, financing, networks, and institutional support. Through Team Sweden, Swedish companies can benefit from a coordinated national effort that brings together government agencies, financial institutions, embassies, and business promotion organisations.
Business Sweden works closely with the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Swedish embassies, EKN, SEK, Swedfund, and other Team Sweden partners to strengthen Swedish companies' ability to compete for major international contracts and investment projects.
We apply a structured process to identify and develop opportunities where Swedish industry can create value and compete successfully.
Depending on the maturity of the opportunity and contract, Business Sweden works with different categories of strategic projects.
Strategic Project Opportunities (SPO)
Early-stage opportunities where Swedish solutions can be positioned before procurement processes or investments have been formally launched.
These opportunities often have long lead times and can evolve into major business projects over time.
High Potential Opportunities (HPO)
Large international business opportunities with significant potential for Swedish industry.
These projects are characterised by high complexity, substantial commercial value, and a strong strategic interest for Sweden. A coordinated Team Sweden approach can significantly improve the chances of success.
EPC Projects
Large infrastructure and industrial developments where Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractors play a central role.
These projects often require extensive stakeholder engagement, international partnerships, and financing solutions, creating substantial opportunities for Swedish suppliers and technology providers.
Many of the strategic projects we support are tied to global megatrends and long-term investment priorities, including the energy transition, electrification, digitalisation, sustainable infrastructure, healthcare, and industrial transformation.
Explore the industries where Swedish companies are particularly well positioned to compete globally.
Strategic Projects is an important part of Business Sweden's Trade & Development asignment, which promotes sustainable economic development by creating business opportunities for Swedish companies while contributing to positive outcomes in low- and middle-income markets.
Through our Strategic Projects process, we identify opportunities that combine strong commercial potential with meaningful societal impact. By bringing together stakeholders from the private sector, public institutions, and Team Sweden, we help Swedish companies participate in and win major international projects.
The European Union's Global Gateway initiative is driving large-scale investment in sustainable infrastructure, energy, transport, healthcare, and digitalisation around the world.
Business Sweden helps Swedish companies identify relevant projects and position themselves for future business opportunities connected to Global Gateway investments.
