Global Business Climate Survey – Australia included for 2025

The Global Business Climate Survey, jointly conducted by Business Sweden, the Swedish Chambers of Commerce International (SCI), and Sweden’s embassies and consulates, provides valuable insights into the business environment for Swedish companies worldwide. Covering 24 markets across Europe, APAC, MEA, and the Americas, the survey examines market conditions, challenges, and opportunities for Swedish businesses operating abroad.

First launched in 2020, the survey captures the perspectives of Swedish business leaders across different industries. In 2024, more than 1,700 C-level executives participated, responding to 18 standardised questions about business conditions in their key markets. The collected data offers a comprehensive overview and insights into economic trends, business success factors, local conditions and sustainability efforts.

Australia included in the Business Climate Survey 2025

For the first time, Australia is included in the Global Business Climate Survey, providing deeper insights into the local business climate for Swedish companies and allowing businesses to benchmark local conditions against international trends.

In collaboration with Team Sweden, the Business Climate Survey in Australia assesses the opportunities and challenges Swedish companies face in the region. It serves as a key tool for gathering insights into market conditions, business trends, and economic developments, helping companies navigate an evolving landscape.

Swedish company participation is crucial in shaping a clear picture of the Swedish business climate in Australia and beyond. Swedish company representatives in Australia were sent details about the survey and we are now in the process of producing the survey presentation material. By participating and sharing insights, we will:

✔ Gain knowledge on how other Swedish firms perceive the Australian market
✔ Ensure that Team Sweden in Australia can support you in the best possible way
✔ Help position Sweden and Swedish companies globally

We thank all companies for taking part in the Business Climate Survey for 2025 and look forward to sharing valuable insights that will support our business community.
