Why invest in Dalarna?

We use our traditions to create a sustainable future 

The history of Dalarna as a prosperous business region with strong international relations goes way back. Today Dalarna is a region in transition. The green transition is happening right now, with world-leading companies like Hitachi Energy and NKT enabling the electrification of society.   

Our steel industry with multi-national giants such as SSAB, Ovako Steel and Outokumpu are leading the way in production of fossil-free steel and reduced emissions. Dalarna is also home to one of the world's most productive underground zinc mines, the Boliden mine in Garpenberg.   

We have an extensive forestry industry, diversified agriculture and a growing tourism industry with 16 million guest nights per year.
