The region is growing!
Göteborg is one of the few regions in Sweden that can show sustainable economic growth over time. Here, global companies like Volvo Cars and Volvo AB (trucks, bus, etc.), exist side-by-side with local industry. For Scandinavia, the Göteborg region is a natural centre and driving force behind several high-growth areas like biotechnology, telecommunications, and biomedicine.
We are home to many multinational companies like Volvo (Ford), Saab (General Motors), and AstraZeneca. With natural clusters developing for industries like information technology, automotive, biotechnology and biomedicine, textiles, and logistics, the region is known as a leader in Scandinavia for fast-growing start-up companies.
Our advantageous business climate already houses over 3,000 foreign-owned companies, offering a strategic hub for business in Copenhagen (Denmark), Oslo (Norway), and Stockholm (Sweden).
