Vacant job

Do you want to contribute to better financing opportunities for companies across Sweden? We are now offering an exciting role for an analytical and driven person with expertise in the field of capital supply.

At Tillväxtverket, we work for competitive companies and sustainable development in all parts of Sweden. We offer knowledge, networks, and investment opportunities. This provides direct benefits to companies, as well as conditions for companies, municipalities, and regions to meet future challenges. Since 2009, Tillväxtverket, with funding from the European Regional Development Fund, has financed venture capital funds in all of Sweden's regions. Tillväxtverket is a national authority with regional presence in nine locations.

The Capital Supply Unit develops knowledge about and works with capital supply issues. We participate in the implementation of the EU's regional fund with a focus on financing opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises in Sweden. We finance both regional and national venture capital funds, all aimed at increasing access to financing where the market otherwise falls short. We analyze market needs and propose measures that promote sustainable development in all parts of the country. The unit also drives initiatives to promote the internationalization of small and medium-sized enterprises and is responsible for the authority's programs and initiatives within green transition and innovation.

The unit is characterized by close collaboration, high knowledge content, and a development-oriented working method. Together, we create better conditions for growing companies throughout the country.
