Photo: Maskot/Johnér/imagebank.sweden.se A reliable partner and contributor Sweden’s competitiveness is rooted in our open and democratic society. As one of the world's most established democracies, we consistently rank at the top of global indices in freedom of speech, press freedom, gender equality, and anti-corruption.
Sweden’s commitment to stability, trust, and transparency in global relations makes us an important contributor to peace, security, and international cooperation. It also creates a trustworthy business environment, attracting investments.
Parental leave is shared between the parents. Photo: Folio/imagebank.sweden.se An environment where people can thrive Sweden’s democratic society and sought-after qualities create ideal conditions for people, companies and communities to develop. Our principles of personal liberty and societal support for all are the reason we’re a powerhouse of innovation.
Constitutional protection against discrimination, gender-neutral parental leave, and a Minister for Gender Equality, make Sweden's work on gender equality unique. Sweden is one the best countries in the world to be a working woman, consistently ranking in the top five in the Global Gender Gap Index.
Open-minded people are an asset Diversity of opinions is valuable and important for social, economic, and sustainable development. Our right to question and express ourselves is strengthened by law, and transparency and citizen participation are integral to governance.
In a time of censorship and limited freedom of speech, Sweden’s support for journalists, media, and artists working under difficult conditions is more important than ever. Free and open-minded people are a vital asset in a changing and unpredictable world.
