The Role We Play
Based in Stockholm, Sweden, The Development Bureau partners with international businesses to provide effective access to the Nordic market and deliver sustainable market presence and growth.
Leveraging our deep experience in multinational industrial conglomerates and the Nordic tech start-up scene, we recognize that numerous excellent international companies and brands are underserved in the Nordic market.
We've therefore made it our mission to represent innovative European (including Israeli) SMEs that offer solutions that directly enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the Nordic industrial base and its supply chains.
We believe that creating these market opportunities will generate significant value for our partners and their customers, while also driving innovation and expanding ecosystems across the Nordic economies and societies.

Twenty years ago, the General Agent was the vital orchestrator of market flow and business success. But the digital revolution and market liberalization have relegated these old-school agencies to the periphery, often perceived as outdated. Yet, we've identified a powerful, unmet need in the contemporary market for a strategic partner embodying that core function, demanding a fundamental rethinking of what an agency can be.
