Bilateral trade with Australia and New Zealand

Sweden maintains a close bilateral trade relationship with both Australia and New Zealand since the late 19th century, built on shared values and strong economic ties. The Embassy of Sweden in Canberra actively promotes these partnerships by advancing political dialogue, supporting trade and investment opportunities, and fostering cultural exchange.

Trade promotion is a central part of the Embassy’s work. Sweden is globally recognised for innovation and green leadership, offering advanced, sustainable solutions across sectors including energy and resources, transport and telecommunications.

The Embassy facilitates contacts between Sweden and Australia and New Zealand by supporting delegation programmes and hosting bilateral events. The Embassy can also provide assistance and counselling to Swedish companies that have encountered various forms of trade obstacles.

With Swedish companies in Australia and New Zealand supporting more than 80,000 jobs across diverse sectors, the Embassy is proud of Sweden’s strong footprint in Oceania and is committed to deepening collaboration to further strengthen two‑way trade, investments, and Sweden’s national brand.
