Team Sweden
Team Sweden is an umbrella of authorities, agencies and companies who all assist Swedish companies in conducting international business. Team Sweden coordinates state support to promote Swedish exports abroad.
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.
Global projects and international opportunities
An important component of Team Sweden’s work is to increase Swedish contributions to international infrastructure projects. This includes, for example, cultivating strong relationships with major international construction companies, thereby enhancing the opportunities for Swedish companies to export their solutions.
Swedfund may finance feasibility studies in countries that require investment and that simultaneously have an interest in Swedish technical and sustainable solutions. This may involve energy and transport solutions, waste management, or specialized structures such as bridges, hospitals, roads, or irrigation systems. Should Swedish companies subsequently be given the opportunity to participate in the project, financing can be provided by SEK and EKN.
SEK’s role within Team Sweden
We work closely with several Team Sweden stakeholders to enable larger and more complex export transactions. Together, we provide comprehensive support that strengthens the competitiveness of Swedish companies in international business. For example, it is common for EKN to guarantee the financing that SEK provides to the buyers of Swedish exporters.
