Sweden-India academic and professional mobility initiatives
Overview
Sweden has launched several initiatives in India to enhance bilateral ties through talent and academic mobility as part of the India-Sweden Joint Action Plan 2026–2030.
In late October 2026, the ‘Work in Sweden 2026’ event in Bengaluru focused on connecting Indian technology and engineering professionals with Swedish employers like Volvo Group and Koenigsegg. Concurrently, ‘Study in Sweden 2026’ fairs were held in New Delhi and Hyderabad to assist students in pursuing STEM master’s programmes at institutions including Lund University, KTH, and Linköping University.
Following these events, Swedish institutions have continued recruitment efforts through scholarship programs and regional fairs. The Swedish Institute is offering the Global Professional Scholarship for 2027, which requires applicants to have 3,000 hours of work experience. To expand outreach, an online fair for the Asia-Pacific region is scheduled for late November, featuring various Swedish universities to discuss admissions and degree programs.
