Americas
Based on the same main “basic idea” as Middle East we have operations in South America, some network & business channels go true North America. Spanish language and Latin America culture is very common in Sweden but not so common in Swedish business environment.

South America stands for rapid growth and in the years to come the region will be a business arena to count on. As an example, countries like Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Mexico, Costa Rica and Peru very much see Sweden and Scandinavia as a raw model of welfare, quality and people to trust and at the same time they have a big need of both competence transfer, products and services from us.
