About the Örebro region –

Better investments in an expansive region

Our region is proudly situated in the centre of Sweden, not only geographically, but also as an artery for the economy and the public sector. This is one of the most growing areas in the country, and with its 14,000 companies this is the place for those with ambitions.

An obvious destination to build the future in

The Örebro region is one of Sweden’s most growing areas, which makes a lot of people curious. Almost 160,000 people live here, and more than 300,000 in the whole county.

We could write something clever about the Örebro region being a geographical centre in Sweden, but except all the benefits that our position brings with a proximity to 70% of the country’s population within 300 km, we are also a centre for the public sector. With 26 government authorities, for example the Swedish Transport Agency and the Swedish Prison and Probation Service, is this without a doubt a place where investments are made and a place that we are proud of.

Education and innovation at the cutting edge.

Örebro University, with Sweden’s most forward-looking medical training and outstanding AI research, attracts excellence and talents from all over the world. This is where the future is shaped with knowledge and curiosity.

Matsmart –

Matsmart

It all began in 2013 when the founder of Matsmart saw how loads of perfectly fine food was thrown in the trash. Unnecessarily so. Back then it was only a simple e-business, some shelves, and orders that were packed late at night. Today it is an automated warehouse of 22,000 square metres.
