Swedish Trade Council

This is an article about a now-defunct Swedish organisation, see Business Sweden for more information.

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). Its mission was to promote Swedish exports on behalf of the Swedish industry and government.[1]

In 2013 the organisation was merged with the government agency Invest Sweden, to form a new organisation named Business Sweden.[2]
