The Green City Challenge is a collaboration between Sweco, Husqvarna, and NL Greenlabel. Green cities and towns are essential to cope with climate change, restore biodiversity and promote the health of citizens. That is why we challenge all municipalities in the Netherlands to participate in the Green City Challenged 2021! Everyone wants greener, but the question is how? We believe it starts with insight. Which neighborhood is the greenest? How much green space does each resident have at their disposal? And where exactly is planting lacking? The Green City Challenge investigates this and provides in-depth insight into the greening potential per district on the basis of data analyzes (including satellite, aerial photos and BGT).

The Netherlands is Sweden's seventh-largest export market and third-largest import market at SEK 162 billion in total 2021.

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.
