Sweden launches career and study initiatives for Indian professionals and students

Sweden is launching two major initiatives in India to strengthen bilateral ties through talent and academic mobility. The ‘Work in Sweden 2026’ event, held in Bengaluru, aims to connect Indian technology and engineering professionals with Swedish employers, including companies such as Volvo Group and Koenigsegg.

Simultaneously, the ‘Study in Sweden 2026’ fairs will take place in New Delhi and Hyderabad. These fairs are designed to guide Indian students toward STEM master’s programmes at institutions such as Lund University, KTH, and Linköping University. The programs focus on helping students navigate application requirements, residence permits, and the Swedish innovation ecosystem.

These initiatives are part of the India-Sweden Joint Action Plan 2026–2030, which identifies student and researcher mobility as a key priority for the strategic partnership between the two nations.
