Expand Internationally with Blekinge as Your Base
Strategically positioned in southern Sweden, Blekinge has emerged as a powerhouse for global industry leaders. Companies such as Ericsson, Volvo Cars, Saab, Telenor, and NKT have chosen Blekinge as their operational hub, attracted by its unique blend of location, expertise, and collaboration.
Why Blekinge Stands Out
Blekinge’s success stems from its seamless collaboration between academia, industry, and the public sector. This synergy creates an environment where global players like Roxtec, Tarkett, and AAK Sweden continue to expand their presence. Here’s what makes Blekinge an ideal base for international expansion:
- Strategic Location: Situated in the heart of southern Sweden, Blekinge offers a central Baltic location with direct access to European markets.
- Robust Connectivity: Enjoy convenient travel with one-hour flights to Stockholm from Ronneby Airport and two and a half hours to Copenhagen Airport by train, Scandinavia’s largest aviation hub.
- Thriving Technical Ecosystem: Benefit from advanced research facilities, a pool of skilled talent, and strong industry networks that foster continuous innovation and growth.
- Collaborative Environment: Experience the advantages of a region where academia, industry, and the public sector work together to drive success.
There is strong collaboration with regional policymakers, particularly through Techtank, where we regularly hold meetings to discuss business development and skills supply. EBP is now planning expansions, which require permits and cooperation with authorities—a process that has run smoothly thanks to open dialogue and strong relationships with decision-makers.
