About Open Trade Gate Sweden

Open Trade Gate Sweden is a one-stop information centre tasked with facilitating trade from developing countries to Sweden. We are a part of the National Board of Trade Sweden.

We assist exporters in developing countries

Do you represent a company from a developing country and want to start exporting to Sweden? Feel free to contact us for any queries on exporting to Sweden or product-specific requirements regarding your product. We will reply in a user-friendly format and respond to all queries. If a query concerns an area that we do not cover, we provide the contact details to the appropriate organisation.

We also arrange webinars about the Swedish market for specific products or sectors.

All our services are free of charge.

We collaborate with business support organisations

We work with long-term projects in the field of export promotion. The objective is building capacity, making companies export-ready.

These projects focus on and include trainings on rules and regulations, the Swedish market, facilitating contact between buyers and sellers (matchmaking) activities and visits to trade fairs in Europe. We work with a partner organisation, such as the official export promotion organisation or the Chamber of Commerce. Together, we decide the focus and target group of the project, on the basis of the need of the organisation and exporters.

Open Trade Gate Sweden works with all developing countries as defined by the OECD: OECD list of aid-recipient countries
