Powerful drivers for Sweco’s business
A growing demand for sustainable solutions, accelerating urbanisation, rising living standards and expansion of the EU are drivers that are creating significant business opportunities for Sweco.
A number of powerful drivers are boosting demand for consulting engineering services. Trends like urbanisation and rising living standards are contributing to a need for infrastructure, industrial production, energy production and construction, etc. Another key driver is expansion of the EU, where there is an urgent need for renewal of infrastructure in the form of power supply systems, roads, railways, harbours and water/wastewater networks, as well as upgrading of the existing infrastructure. This applies not least to the power production and transmission systems, which in many European countries are outdated and in need of modernisation. At the same time, there are increasing requirements for sustainable development of society and adaptation to climate change. This is stimulating demand for services in areas like energy efficiency, environmental impact assessments, renewable energy solutions, effective traffic planning, water supply, wastewater treatment and soil/site remediation.
