Swedish Trade Council in South Africa

The Swedish Trade Council in South Africa supports Swedish companies wanting to establish themselves, or grow, on the South African market. Since 1993 we are located in an office in Johannesburg.

The Swedish trade council offices in South Africa, Angola, Botswana and Namibia form the Swedish trade council in Southern Africa.

Through close cooperation with the Embassies of other African countries, the offices in Southern Africa also cover the following markets:  Guinea – Bissau, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Swaziland, Cape Verde, Sao Tome, Madagascar, Seychelles and Mauritius.  

Our local presence provides us with a unique knowledge of the market. We know the language and the business culture and we have over time built up a well-developed network, experience and detailed local knowledge.

We can make it easier for you in all phases of your export plans, from the moment any issues might arise to questions regarding practical establishment support. And we have several different solutions. For us, nothing is out of the ordinary, if it enables us to offer your company tools to develop itself even further!

Welcome to our office!
