NIR supports Swedish companies’ long-term interests in complex environments. We are a non-profit, membership-based organisation.
Our members are primarily large exporting companies but also organisations and authorities that work with trade and export. NIR has presence in approximately 20 countries around the world, where we work to support our members as well as local businesses and organisations to succeed with sustainable business and investment.
Swedish companies depend on international trade and expansion in order to stay competitive. Opportunities for growth are increasingly concentrated in countries where challenges to working sustainably exist. This is why companies need to develop strategies that consider people, economy and environment for long-term success.
NIR assists Swedish companies to advance their potential in challenging markets and we work actively to contribute to sustainable development in these countries.
