- Being included in the Try Swedish marketing concept online and in social media (LinkedIn, Instagram)
As part of the programme, we currently prioritise activities in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Canada, USA and Singapore (SEA).
Companies in Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Canada and the United States get support from a dedicated industry-savvy business developer who is specialised in supporting Swedish food companies in that specific market.
In Sweden, we organise seminars to inform, inspire and develop competences in global expansion. These seminars cover trends in global food trade, present business opportunities in different markets and report on successful export initiatives. We also discuss local food-related regulations such as labelling and logistics requirements.
This programme is organised in cooperation with the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation. The steering group of the programme consists of food-related organisations and company representatives with expertise in export promotion. Together with Business Sweden, they decide which projects will be supported and implemented.

Study on global conditions and opportunities for the Swedish food industry

Thanks to their sustainable and agile approach and innovative and safe products, Swedish food companies have a solid basis for export. The analysis identified three markets per food segment with high export potential. Overall, Hong Kong, Japan, Canada, the UK and Germany show the greatest potential for Swedish food companies.
