Embassy of Sweden in the United Kingdom

The Swedish Embassy in London represent Sweden and the Swedish government in the UK. We also promote Swedish interests. Furthermore, we provide consular services to Swedish citizens living in or visiting UK as well as immigration related services. Our LinkedIn page provides information on trade and invest promotion activities & events in the areas of tech, life sciences, green energies and design. The Tech & innovation industries have great impact on the bilateral bond between UK and Sweden. Both London and Stockholm are widely described as the tech start up capitals and the Silicon Valleys of Europe. They rank highly in most internationally recognized lists of competitiveness and innovation capacity. The Swedish unicorns Skype, Spotify, Klarna, Mojang (Minecraft) and King (Candy Crush) were all founded in Stockholm. These companies make Stockholm the city with the second highest number of billion-dollar companies per capita after Silicon Valley. Many Swedish startups relocate or multiply to London, the capital with the biggest pool of international talent, the highest number of $ 1 billion businesses and venture capital investment in Europe. Tech industries, and the unprecedented exchange of people, jobs, capital and ideas, are quickly reshaping the present and future trading relationship between Sweden and the UK. The Embassy cooperates with local partners from a variety of sectors and disciplines and is a driving force in the Team Sweden cooperation together with Business Sweden, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce and Visit Sweden.
