About Dalarna 

Dalarna offers a compelling mix of industrial strength, sustainability leadership, and cost-efficient growth opportunities that make it attractive to investors. The region has a long-standing industrial base anchored by companies such as SSAB and Stora Enso, with expertise spanning steel, forestry, and advanced materials. At the same time, Dalarna is positioning itself at the forefront of the green transition, with major investments in fossil-free production and renewable energy. Its significant hydropower capacity ensuresreliable access to low-cost electricity, key advantage for energy-intensive industries and emerging sectors like data centers.

Beyond industry, the region benefits from a strong tourism economy driven by popular destinations, attracting both domestic and international visitors year-round. Its strategic location between Stockholm and Oslo provides access to two major Nordic markets, while comparatively lower land and operating COSTs create favorable conditions for business expansion. Supported by talent development from institutions like Dalarna University and ongoing investments in infrastructure and connectivity, Dalarna continues to strengthen its position as a competitive and future-oriented investment destination.
