Central Sweden is the bridge between the European Union
and the Swedish regions of Dalarna, Gävleborg and Örebro county

The Central Sweden European Office serves as the regional EU representation, acting as a bridge between the European Union and the Swedish regions of Dalarna, Gävleborg, and Örebro County. Its objective is to contribute to the realization of members’ regional development strategies from an EU perspective.

The office’s activities focus on four main areas: monitoring and reporting on ongoing and upcoming EU policies; representation and networking; capacity-building measures; and supporting member regions in political lobbying and project development.

The foundation of the Central Sweden European Office’s activities is the politically prioritized requests from member regions, which outline key policy areas and activities. The office staff collaborates with officials in the three regions to support local and regional efforts. Located in Brussels, the office has three employees and two trainees.
