Swedish business ready to cooperate with Ukrainian companies in high-tech industries
This issue was discussed at a meeting between Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister, Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko and Swedish Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Energy, Business and Industry Ebba Busch, Ukrinform reports, citing the Ukrainian Economy Ministry's press service.
"We discussed specific projects that may be of interest to Swedish companies for investment. We heard from our colleagues that Swedish businesses already operating in Ukraine are interested in increasing their presence, and potential investors expressed their interest in cooperation in such high-tech sectors as conventional and green energy, telecommunications and cyber security. It is very important for us to localize such high-tech productions in Ukraine," Svyrydenko said.

They also discussed the possibility of involving Sweden's export credit agency in war risk insurance for Swedish investors.
