The Alliance at a Glance
"To increase the number of foreign turnkey contractors (EPC) for major infrastructure projects that choose Swedish subcontractors. Sweden has many leading companies that sell solutions that contribute to e.g. smart cities, which offers great potential for sustainable solutions in the rapid urbanization in emerging markets. There are a few Swedish turnkey contractors that offer complete package solutions, but more are needed. Therefore, an initiative is initiated towards international turnkey contractors in order to position competitive Swedish offers."
–Sweden’s Export and Investment Strategy
The EPC Alliance by Sweden is a network between Team Sweden, Global EPCs, Swedish suppliers and International banks that all work to promote trade and investment between Sweden and the world.
Sweden is a country with many innovative and world-leading companies that can participate in large infrastructure projects abroad. However, Sweden lacks large turn-key system integrators that work in developing markets. This is one reason why Sweden has mentioned and highlighted the importance of international EPCs in the government’s official Export and Investment Strategy. It is crucial for us to work with EPCs both on the export side but also the investment side.
We believe that the Swedish Financing offer to international project partnerships will support both international EPCs and Swedish solution providers in their international projects in a sustainable way.
