Focus Asia - SME Study trip to Singapore and Indonesia
Join Business Sweden’s 2026 Focus Asia SME Study Trip to Indonesia and Singapore - an exclusive opportunity to explore two of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic economies. Gain first-hand insights into navigating their business landscapes while connecting with key public and private stakeholders, opening doors to new opportunities in these influential markets.
This is a unique opportunity for Swedish SMEs to explore the dynamic markets of Jakarta, Indonesia and Singapore through a Business Sweden-led delegation. The initiative supports the Swedish government’s strategy to boost exports and strengthen Sweden’s presence in Asia and Oceania.
By immersing yourself in these key markets, you will gain valuable insights into the local business climate and opportunities. Direct engagement with local experts and stakeholders will help you build essential market knowledge, understand customer needs, and develop tailored strategies for market entry and expansion.
In addition to gathering valuable market intelligence, the delegation offers a platform to build networks with key stakeholders and decision-makers. These connections can be instrumental as you navigate the business landscapes of Indonesia and Singapore and work toward long-term partnerships.
As both countries aim to accelerate innovation and sustainability, this delegation provides an opportunity to leverage Sweden’s strong reputation as a forward-thinking and environmentally responsible nation. Our goal is to help you better understand two markets that are actively seeking innovative, sustainable products and services.
We invite you to join this trip and explore your business potential in Indonesia and Singapore. Welcome!
| Indonesia, Southeast Asia’s largest economy with over 283 million people, offers strong opportunities for Swedish companies across key sectors such as energy and mobility, healthcare, mining, IT and digitalization, as well as forestry. Through the Sweden–Indonesia Sustainability Partnership (SISP), collaboration on innovation and sustainable industrial solutions is strengthened, while the ongoing Indonesia–EU CEPA aims to reduce trade barriers and further facilitate market access for Swedish SMEs in this dynamic and rapidly developing market. | Singapore, Southeast Asia’s leading innovation and business hub with a population of 6.1 million, offers a highly developed, trade‑driven economy, world‑class infrastructure, and a stable regulatory environment. Its strategic position, advanced digital ecosystem, and openness to global talent make it an ideal launchpad for Swedish companies seeking regional expansion. Strong local demand for electrification, digitalisation, and operational efficiency creates opportunities that align closely with Swedish strengths, particularly in smart mobility, advanced manufacturing, IoT, AI-driven solutions, and sustainable logistics. |
