Swedish Cleantech: Showcasing companies and helping them grow

Through Swedish Cleantech, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth helped Swedish cleantech companies grow and reach global markets.

Project concluded.

Vision and Purpose

Swedish Cleantech was an initiative featuring two websites designed to help companies in the cleantech sector expand nationally and internationally.

The Swedish site, swedishcleantech.se, targeted companies within the cleantech sector.
The international site, swedishcleantech.com, focused on buyers, investors, and other stakeholders interested in Swedish cleantech companies and solutions.

Initiatives

On the Swedish website, companies could access support to grow their business in Sweden and prepare for export. The site gathered information from around 30 government agencies, industry and interest organisations, regional actors, and other relevant sources, including media covering environmental technology.

Content included news, funding opportunities, networks, events, and reports. A newsletter allowed subscribers to choose topics of interest.

The international website mainly targeted buyers and investors. It included a company directory where Swedish cleantech companies could register to increase their visibility and be discovered by potential business partners, buyers, and investors both nationally and internationally.

The site also provided news about the Swedish cleantech market, along with key facts and statistics about the sector and the companies operating within it.

The international website was managed and developed by IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute on behalf of the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth.

Results

Swedish Cleantech strengthened Sweden’s position as a leading country in green innovation and sustainable solutions. The platforms made it easier for environmental technology companies to grow, discover funding, and reach international markets.

Since 2014, interest in the websites grew steadily. In 2022, visits peaked at 164,400. Between 2014 and 2025, the two websites together averaged around 81,000 visitors per year.

By October 2025, over 900 Swedish companies were listed on swedishcleantech.com. Visitors came from countries including Egypt, India, Morocco, the United States, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Colombia, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, and Indonesia. As of October 2025, the international website had over 1,400 LinkedIn followers.

Conclusion

Over the years, Swedish Cleantech improved access to information about Swedish cleantech companies and supported their growth and international reach.

In 2025, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth’s mandate changed, which led to the conclusion of the Swedish Cleantech initiative. Consequently, both swedishcleantech.se and swedishcleantech.com will close on 8 December 2025.
