Gothenburg is Sweden’s second-largest city and an ideal gateway to the Nordic countries. The city has a population of about 580,000 and circa 1 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area. The Port of Gothenburg is Scandinavia’s largest and Northern Europe’s busiest for export.

The greater Stockholm area drives Sweden’s high economic growth and is the country’s most important consumption market. It has a metropolitan area population of 2.5 million, about 25 percent of Sweden’s total. Prosperous, densely populated and vibrant, Stockholm is one of the fastest-growing cities in Europe.

Öresund has gone through a major change, evolving from industrial and rural to a modern area founded on science and continental access. The region—consisting of Southern Sweden and Sjealland in Denmark, where Copenhagen is located—is the largest and most densely populated area in the Nordics with close to 3.9 million people.

After several years of strategic investments, large new establishments and a growing logistics competence in the region, Mälardalen – which consists of Stockholm, Uppsala, Södermanland, Örebro, and Västmanland – has become one of Sweden’s most sought-after logistics locations. The region is Sweden’s “doorway to the world.” A large proportion of the country’s freight goods either pass through the region or find their final destination there.
