The purpose of the Swedish Security & Defence Industry Association (SOFF) is to create the best possible preconditions for member companies to operate in Sweden and enhance their market accessibility and capacity to trade.
THE PURPOSE…
SOFF member companies are presented with significant opportunities, which come hand in hand with considerable challenges. It’s crucial to contextualise their growth on a global scale and assess the implications for the Swedish clientele. Currently, many firms are integrated into a matrix of international ownership configurations and global subcontractor supply chains. By proactively establishing the right conditions within Sweden, the groundwork is set for triumph on the global defence stage. The journey of exportation begins with research, innovation, and development. The Association aims to deepen understanding of the synergy between an efficient defence market and pioneering research, highlighting the resultant benefits from a security and defence policy standpoint.
… AND OVERALL OBJECTIVE
The paramount goal of SOFF is to ensure that security and defence enterprises in Sweden are afforded the most favourable conditions for growth and success. Fundamentally, this involves two main strategies: a sustained commitment to addressing market accessibility and trading terms, and engagement with prospective promotional procedures and initiatives. To achieve this, SOFF endeavours to shape the creation and execution of policies and legislative structures that impact the security and defence sector.
In the immediate future, SOFF’s primary concern is to guarantee an equitable environment for Swedish enterprises to export and partner on the global stage. Throughout the fiscal year, the Association also plans to bolster recognition of the pivotal role these enterprises play in fortifying Swedish defence capabilities, whilst also amplifying research and innovative ventures.
