The construction industry worldwide is growing at a rapid pace and offers great potential for Swedish companies.

Sweden has a long tradition in the sector and has many leading-edge companies and advanced research in the field of green buildings and infrastructure.

Sustainable urban development in Sweden

Every year about 50 million people move to urban areas worldwide. Urbanisation is unlikely to stop because cities offer better educational, social and economic opportunities and services.To be able to manage these vast population movements, new ways of thinking about infrastructure and buildings must be adopted.

Innovative technologies and services are needed in energy and water efficiency, heating and cooling, urban planning, green roofs, renewable materials and indoor environment quality, and Swedish companies have extensive know-how in this sector. In Sweden, a number of towns and city districts have incorporated sustainability into their planning, generating many success stories within the sector by using innovative and sustainable solutions and becoming international role models in urban development.

More and more countries are learning about Sweden’s model for sustainable city planning. In order to export Swedish know-how and expertise in this sector and offer complete system solutions, a national demo arena called Smart City Sweden has been established.
