The Opportunity
Sweden is the largest market in the Nordics for Irish companies and for many is a gateway to the wider Nordic Region. Home to leading global companies like Ikea, Ericsson, Volvo, H&M and Vattenfall, Sweden’s unique focus on innovation, sustainability, co-creation and equality has created a highly dynamic economy with a wide range of opportunities.
Denmark continues to punch above its weight as a country and consistently ranks as a global innovation leader. Thanks to the country’s proactive digitalisation strategy and large investments in areas such as healthcare, infrastructure, energy and construction the country presents real opportunities for new and innovative Irish products and services.
Norway is a politically stable, modern and highly developed country with a very strong economy. The Norwegian economy is characterised by being open and mixed, with a combination of private and public ownership. The main opportunities exist across Energy, Maritime, Hi Tech Construction and Telecommunications.
Finland is a highly industrialised, largely free market economy and due to its northern location, it is very dependent on the export and import of a variety of goods. Finland has quickly expanded from traditional industries to a modern high-tech service society. Its vast natural resources include traditional paper and pulp, forestry, mechanical engineering and metal industries. The mix of industries and services offer a wide range of opportunities, not commonly found in a country of this size.
