Business Sweden Malaysia
Business Sweden opened its office in Kuala Lumpur in 2005. We offer local support and advise Swedish companies how to strategically expand their business in the area. Malaysia has long been a central trade partner for Sweden.

With a stable business climate, strong growth and a strategic location in Southeast Asia, it is the perfect place for Swedish companies that want to expand to other parts in the region.

The country is multicultural, there is an openness to do business with international companies, and English is the natural business language.

Many companies choose to start their Southeast Asia adventure in Malaysia, as setting up operations is easy and relatively cost efficient.
