Establish and invest
Are you interested in expanding your business to Västra Götaland? Our regional establishment offices, together with Västra Götalandsregionen, are here to support you every step of the way — from strategic insights and funding opportunities to practical guidance and valuable local connections.
Why establish in Västra Götaland?
- Västra Götaland accounts for 30 percent of corporate R&D investments in Sweden.
- As one of Sweden’s leading industrial regions, Västra Götaland offers expertise across the entire value chain — from raw materials and residual streams to design, material development, and advanced manufacturing.
- 20 percent of Sweden’s foreign trade and 57 percent of the country’s container traffic passes through the Port of Gothenburg, Scandinavia’s largest port. Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport is an international hub and Sweden’s second-largest airport.
- By 2035, Gothenburg is investing SEK 1 trillion in housing, commercial spaces, and infrastructure — a transformation that opens up major opportunities for growth and collaboration.
