2018年4月24日——2019年，瑞典将成为工业技术交易会汉诺威工业博览会的正式合作伙伴国。这是瑞典贸易与投资委员会战略与业务发展执行副总裁Fredrik Fexe与德国汉诺威展览公司负责汉诺威工业博览会&汉诺威国际物流展工业、能源和物流业务高级副总裁Marc Siemering正式签署合作协议时宣布的。

Every year, a different Partner Country is honored at HANNOVER MESSE. This not only attracts huge attention for the featured nation on the part of visitors and journalists, but also sparks lots of discourse at the highest levels of government. In its Partner Country role, Sweden is taking over from Mexico as the nation featured in 2018.

每年，不同的合作伙伴国家都会在汉诺威工业博览会上备受赞誉。这不仅吸引了观众和新闻记者对这个特色国家的高度关注，而且引发政府最高层的大量讨论。成为合作伙伴国，瑞典是从2018年合作伙伴国墨西哥手中接过这一角色。

“Sweden’s government and industry are clearly committed to pursuing the digital transformation,” observed Dr. Jochen Köckler, Chairman of the Managing Board at Deutsche Messe, adding: “This makes Sweden a perfect match for HANNOVER MESSE.”

“瑞典政府和工业界明确承诺实施数字化转型，”德国汉诺威展览公司董事局主席Jochen Köckler博士说道，“这使得瑞典与汉诺威工业博览会完美契合。”

The relations between Sweden and Germany were intensified through a bilateral partnership on innovation signed in early 2017. The partnership entails cooperation at government, economic and institutional levels in the areas of mobility, digital advancement of industry, joint research activities and testbed projects for Industry 4.0, as well as the promotion of digitization and automation in small and medium-sized enterprises.

通过2017年初签署的双边创新伙伴关系，瑞典与德国之间的关系进一步加强。这一伙伴关系需要政府、经济和机构层面在工业4.0的流动性、工业数字化推进、联合研究活动和试验台项目方面进行合作以及促进中小企业的数字化和自动化。

The Swedish economy is growing steadily. Sweden ranks highly in international comparisons on everything from business climate to start-ups, innovation and quality of life. A long tradition of business savvy and high levels of education coupled with supportive government policies have made the country home to a vibrant start-up community and to many brands in the world, including Volvo, Electrolux, Ericsson, IKEA and H&M.

瑞典经济取得稳步增长。瑞典在从商业环境到初创企业、创新和生活质量等各个方面的国际比较中排名很高。悠久的商业意识和高水平的教育背景以及支持性的政府政策使该国成为充满活力的初创社区和全球众多知名品牌的家园，包括沃尔沃、伊莱克斯、爱立信、宜家和H＆M等。

In 2018, Forbes named Sweden the world’s best country for doing business and the Global Sustainable Competitiveness Index ranked Sweden as the most competitive economy in the world. Having produced tech giants such as Spotify, Klarna, Skype, King and iZettle, Stockholm is an undeniable tech hotspot. In fact, per capita Sweden’s capital is the biggest unicorn factory in the world after Silicon Valley. Sweden also ranks as the most innovative nation in the European Union and tops the list for R&D personnel as a proportion of the labor force. Gender equality, openness and lack of corruption are other dimensions where Sweden is world-leading and which contribute to Sweden having the “best reputation in the world”, according to the Country RepTrak Index.

2018年，福布斯将瑞典列为世界上最好的经商国家，全球可持续竞争力指数将瑞典评为世界上最具竞争力的经济体。在孕育出Spotify、Klarna、Skype、King和iZettle等科技巨头之后，斯德哥尔摩成为一块无可否认的科技热土。事实上，按人均算，瑞典首都是硅谷之后全球最大的独角兽工厂。瑞典也是欧盟最具创新力的国家，研发人员占据劳动力的比例位居前列。根据国家RepTrak指数，瑞典全球领先并且帮助瑞典获得“世界最佳声誉”的其他方面还包括性别平等、开放和腐败指数低等。
