Scale with Sweden
How Swedish startups actually scale internationally
Going global isn’t a playbook.
It’s strategy, network, connections, timing, cost and trade-offs.
Nordic Founders and Business Sweden are inviting you to a session bringing together founders who have done it, investors that are helping with it, and ecosystem players that are sitting with tailored tools.
This session is how you scale and navigate markets in markets far beyond the Nordics.
This event designed for Swedish startups and scaleups with international growth ambitions. You are looking to expand into new markets, raise capital, or build strategic partnerships, and want to leverage a strong national platform to accelerate your journey.
About the program:
Through the Scale with Sweden program, Business Sweden offers a curated global growth initiative tailored to Swedish startups and scaleups - taking your tech global. Less guesswork, more traction, faster growth with 139 years of trade experience.

The biggest mistakes Nordic founders make when going global
What support is out there (and how to use it properly): investors, organisations and ecosystem players
