STOCKHOLM
During the 20th century, Sweden was transformed into one of the world's most prosperous and sophisticated industrial nations. Although raw materials and processed raw materials still account for a sizable proportion of Swedish exports, the future of Swedish business is said to lie primarily in knowledge-intensive industries, where Sweden can take advantage of its advanced technological development, sophisticated infrastructure and high general educational level. Information technology and biomedicine are two such knowledge-intensive sectors in which Sweden has been among the global leaders for years.
Sweden’s capital Stockholm is centrally situated in Northern Europe, built on 14 islands, where the lake Mälaren opens up into the Baltic Sea. Stockholm is one of Europe's leading economic regions with its high concentration of information technology, healthcare industry and research. |
