How will your municipality meet tomorrow’s challenges?

Sweden's municipalities

Sweden’s municipalities are facing significant economic and demographic challenges. As resources become increasingly limited, new approaches are needed to drive growth, foster innovation, and strengthen local businesses.

The answer lies in a strong local business community. It is local entrepreneurs who create jobs, generate tax revenues, and build attractive, thriving municipalities.

But how do you unlock that potential when resources are limited?

Results-driven business development.


Development for established companies within municipal business sectors, with a strong focus on execution and measurable impact.

Lack of resources within municipal business development offices.

The challenge: Municipal business development departments are often understaffed and overwhelmed by administrative responsibilities. There is rarely enough time or capacity to drive in-depth, long-term development programmes for local businesses.

How SKA gets involved: We act as an extension of your organisation. We do the heavy lifting – from the initial needs assessment to practical implementation. By relieving the pressure on your team, we deliver a proven, ready-to-implement growth programme directly to your local entrepreneurs.

Millions in untapped government and regional funding opportunities.

The challenge: The Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth and Region Stockholm regularly announce funding calls worth millions, specifically earmarked for entrepreneurship and innovation. However, preparing applications, monitoring eligibility requirements, and managing these projects require specialised expertise that municipalities often do not have in-house.

How SKA gets involved: With our unique background in both public administration (the County Administrative Board) and the private sector, we help you match the right funding opportunities with your municipality’s needs. We provide the expertise and structure required to secure funding and transform public investment into measurable local growth.

The gap between strategy and practical business impact.

The challenge: Traditional consultants often deliver lengthy reports and sound advice on what municipalities or businesses should do. But without operational support, those plans often remain on paper.

How SKA gets involved: We do not provide advice – we deliver results. We connect your local businesses with the networks, innovation environments, and ecosystems where new opportunities and partnerships are created. Through our team of former bank CEOs, business development specialists, and PR experts, your local entrepreneurs receive hands-on guidance at the highest level.
