Bridging 4 Growth

Are you ready to expand your business into one of the world’s most dynamic markets? From April 7th to 11th, 2025, Norrköping Science Park is organizing an exciting business delegation to São Paulo, Brazil—tailored for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from Sweden located in the Central Baltic area*.

In mid-October, 11 innovative companies from Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Latvia traveled to Chicago as part of the EU-funded Bridging4Growth project. The delegation aimed to connect these companies with local stakeholders and practical strategies to break into the U.S. market. With us from Norrköping, we had our local companies Interspectral and Ligna Energy.

From November 4-7, Norrköping welcomed participants of the Scaleup Launchpad program for workshop-days aimed at equipping scaleup companies with strategies for sustainable growth. Hosted by Norrköping Science Park, the event brought together innovative tech companies from Sweden, Finland, and Estonia, representing a range of industries and solutions—from AI and IoT to construction and recruitment technology.

We are happy to announce that Norrköping Science Park has been granted a new study project! The study called “Internationalization of Swedish Growth Companies in Logistics and Transport" will run from August to November together with partners Linköping Science Park and Intuizio.

In the latest edition of NordicLight the Swedish chamber of commerce in Brazil highlights the successful business delegation that took place in April. 🇸🇪🇧🇷 Through the international project Bridging4Growth, we support innovative companies in expanding to new international markets.

From October 14-18, Norrköping Science Park will bring a delegation of SMEs from the Central Baltic region of Sweden to Chicago, U.S.A. This initiative is a key part of our internationalization project, Bridging4Growth.

This week, Tammerfors was filled with energy as we gathered for a three-day workshop in the Scaleup Launchpad project focused on international growth. With sessions led by experts, networking opportunities, and insights into the future of business, the workshop days provided a comprehensive roadmap for scaling up with insight into communication, company boards, and innovation in international business. Here’s a recap of the highlights from each day.

In April, Norrköping Science Park, organized a delegation trip to São Paulo, Brazil with their ongoing project ”Bridging4Growth”. This journey aimed to help companies from the Central Baltic region expand into the Brazilian market, demonstrating the commitment of the region to creating international growth and cooperation. With invaluable support from the Swedish Chamber of Commerce (Swedcham) in São Paulo, the delegation turned out to be an insightful and productive experience for all participants.

Right now, we're looking for innovative companies ready to take their next step towards scaling up and exporting beyond Europe. Through Norrköping Science Park and Central Baltic Interreg, we offer 3 growth programs focusing on scaling up and internationalization for your company.

Companies from the following regions are welcome to apply: Östergötland, Stockholm, Uppsala, Örebro, Södermanland, Gotland, Västmanland & Gävleborg.

In April, Norrköping Science Park ventures to warmer latitudes in São Paulo, bringing companies from the Central Baltic region to support their entry into the Brazilian market. As the largest economy in Latin America, Brazil offers many opportunities for sustainable companies to expand and thrive. The delegation trip is set for 15-19 April, and there is still opportunity for more companies to join.
