The Swedish startup scene has garnered much international attention. Today, the country remains a centre of innovation, with a host of Swedish companies from diverse sectors operating at the very cutting edge of technology. Sweden is investing ever more heavily in intelligent technologies and innovative digital applications to stay a leader in an international market. Specialists are highly sought after and have good career prospects in the Swedish labor market.

Swedish companies have been unable to recruit anything close to the number of medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, scientists, mathematicians and IT-experts needed to fill the numerous vacancies. Sweden is ranked as second in the world by attractiveness for highly educated professionals according to the OECD. At the same time, there is a supply of professionals that local markets cannot match with qualified jobs.
