Sweden WIE 2025

Sweden WIE 2025

Sweden is a global leader of innovation and entrepreneurship with a highly skilled labour force, sophisticated consumers, smooth business procedures, openness to international ownership and a stable economy. Stockholm is an important player in the information technology market with high technology companies based there. The city is also Sweden’s financial centre and home to the Stockholm Stock Exchange. Major Swedish banks are located here as well. Business culture in Stockholm is rather casual with an emphasis on work-life balance. The city is still, however, incredibly productive.
