Ecosystem Exchange

Through our sector-specific Ecosystem Exchange programme series, we connect the brightest up-and-coming businesses on the Swedish startup scene with the UK ecosystem of investors, experts, and entrepreneurs. Each programme focuses on different industries and sectors, providing participants with insights, advice, and connections for a successful growth journey in the UK.

The Global Startup Ecosystem Index 2024 ranks the UK as the 2nd best startup ecosystem and Sweden at 6th, showcasing the world-class environments in which both nations operate. Additionally, London is recognised as the 3rd best city in the world for startups, making it a prime location for Swedish investment and innovation.

About the programme

Covering sectors such as Fintech, Greentech, Life Sciences, and Foodtech, participants gain sector-specific market knowledge, guidance in tapping into relevant ecosystems as well as advice in setting up a business operationally and scaling up in the UK market.

The programme series is provided together with our partners at the British Embassy in Stockholm and the Embassy of Sweden in London. Klarna, SEB, Freeths, and Skanska are only a few of the businesses that have engaged in the programme as sponsors, venue hosts, and speaking partners.
