Sweden

Sweden has been neutral for the past two hundred years which has allowed strong economic growth and as a result, the country enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the world. Despite being one of the physically largest countries in Europe, Sweden has one of the smallest population densities. It is perhaps because of the relatively small domestic market that it focused its economy on exports from early on, making many of its companies international market leaders.

Sweden boasts some of the most well-known international companies and brands which stand for high quality, innovation and state of the art products. Some of these brands include Volvo, Saab, Ericsson, Electrolux, Hennes & Mauritz, Hasselblad, IKEA and AstraZeneca, to name just a few.

The capital, Stockholm, is the economic and political heart of Sweden as well as the birthplace of world-famous Alfred Nobel. The city is not only a beautiful tourist destination, but it offers a vibrant music and cultural scene and also excellent shopping and dining opportunities.
