The Business Sweden team is excited to introduce the "Bilateral Support and Finance Opportunity Identification Guide" designed for Swedish companies and subsidiaries looking to lend their expertise and solutions to Ukraine’s resilience and rebuilding efforts. The guide will be available on Business Sweden web-site shortly.

This guide aims to offer Swedish businesses and Team Sweden stakeholders current information on export finance options and other support avenues available in Germany, Poland, the UK and Ukraine. It includes details on a variety of financial tools such as export guarantees, risk mitigation mechanisms, grants, loans, and development cooperation resources, all geared toward supporting Swedish companies with a presence or production capabilities in aforementioned markets.

The webinar was intended for representatives of Swedish companies and subsidiaries already involved in or considering participation in Ukraine’s resilience and reconstruction efforts, as well as Team Sweden agencies, and representatives from Swedish and foreign embassies and government departments.

The webinar will be held in English.
