Business Climate Survey for Swedish Companies in the Netherlands 2022
The Dutch market has always been very important to Swedish Companies and continues to be so. The Netherlands is Sweden's seventh-largest export market and third-largest import market at SEK 162 billion in total 2021.
The Netherlands is an attractive market for Swedish companies with its logistically strategic location and high degree of digitalisation, technology, innovation, and sustainability. The Netherlands is also an interesting test market for onward expansion to other countries in Europe. The Dutch business climate bears clear resemblances to that of Sweden. Swedish companies and products enjoy a great reputation for innovation, tech, quality, as well as sustainability, among consumers.
Team Sweden in the Netherlands (the Embassy of Sweden, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, and Business Sweden) have conducted the second Business Climate Survey among Swedish companies in the Netherlands. The findings are presented in this report. This survey was carried out between March and April 2022. The ongoing Russian aggression on Ukraine is likely to have influenced the answers.
The Swedish Chamber is currently working with the Business Climate Survey for 2023.

Meet Ingela Älvskog – New Priest of the Swedish Church in the Netherlands
The Swedish Chamber of Commerce gives a warm welcome to Ingela Älvskog, the newly arrived priest of the Swedish Church in the Netherlands.
"Until the fall of 2020, I lived in Värmland, in a sparsely populated area in Sweden. Then I decided it was time to see a little more of the world and I got a position within the Swedish Church Abroad which meant moving to Frankfurt. It was wonderful to live in a big city and now, just before the New Year, I have moved to start my new assignment in The Hague."
