Preferred location for regionalized business activities

Sweden has become an attractive platform for shared service centers covering Scandinavia and Northern Europe with qualified and experienced staff with excellent language skills from the entire region.

Sweden is a competitive choice for business-critical and customer-oriented shared service functions. Corporations such as BASF, GE, Honda, Henkel, and Motorola have chosen Sweden for their shared service centers.
