Do you want to contribute to competitive businesses across the country? Are you quality-conscious and passionate about service? Then you might be the one we are looking for!

At Tillväxtverket, we work for competitive businesses and sustainable development in all parts of Sweden. We offer knowledge, networks, and investment opportunities.

Tillväxtverket has the government’s assignment to manage transport subsidies. The transport subsidy can be applied for by companies that refine products in the four northernmost counties. The transport subsidy reduces their cost disadvantages and thus strengthens the competitiveness of the companies. In this way, the transport subsidy also contributes to regional development.

The job includes company visits and other contacts with both businesses and authorities.
