17 Nov 2014 03:38 PM

Sweden’s 10-year infrastructure spending plan offers export opportunities to supply expertise and equipment for road and railway projects.

The Swedish government currently has a 10 year infrastructure spending plan in place worth around £50 billion. This covers both road and rail projects, though rail takes the lion’s share. It also covers both infrastructure improvements, ie new developments, as well as extra funds for much needed maintenance. A few major projects have a combined value of £8 billion.

Opportunities

Opportunities exist at all stages of rail development from planning and consultancy through to rail build and rolling stock.
