The Swedish Trade Council (Swedish: Exportrådet, or Sveriges Exportråd) was an organisation formed after a parliamentary decision July 1, 1972, in cooperation between the Government of Sweden and representatives from the Swedish business community, through the Swedish Foreign Trade Association (Swedish: Sveriges Allmänna Utrikeshandelsförening).
[1] In 2013, the organisation was merged with the government agency Invest Sweden, to form a new organisation named Business Sweden.
[2] Abroad, operations were organized into five regions: the Americas; Asia; Western Europe and Australia/New Zealand; Southern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Central and Eastern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa.
In these regions, the Swedish Trade Council worked with Swedish and foreign consultants and cooperates closely with Swedish embassies, consulates and chambers of commerce.
