How Swedish businesses support productivity and growth in the UK

Swedish businesses have been present in the UK and contributed to the British economy and society for centuries. Today, Sweden is the UK's 7th largest investor.

What does the regional reach look like? Where are job opportunities created, and what investments are Swedish businesses making across the UK?
