Norrbotten in Stockholm

To have an impact on national decision-making processes that are important for the region's growth and sustainable development, we have representation in Stockholm. 

North Sweden Stockholm Office, the Stockholm office, functions as a strategic resource and information broker for domestic stakeholders. The office also promotes Norrbotten towards national and EU institutions. The office has four main tasks:

  • Interest monitoring
    Interest monitoring is of strategic importance so that the region's actors can pay early attention to and influence national decision-making processes in areas of importance to the region's growth and sustainable development.
  • Representation
    The Stockholm office is a resource for ensuring that the Norrbotten Region's regional development has relevant connections to national processes, platforms and support mechanisms.
  • Knowledge-raising 
    The work involves being involved and influencing issues early in the process when data is produced and proposals for decisions are formulated. This includes being able to be on site and contributing knowledge about Norrbotten's specific conditions and challenges.
  • Counseling
