Swedish Entrepreneur Elin Norström Celebrates Renewed Startup Momentum in H1 2025

MALMÖ, Sweden - July 5, 2025 - PRLog -- "The entrepreneurial spirit is back in Sweden," says Elin Norström, digital business pioneer and founder of multiple web-based ventures, commenting on recently released statistics from Spiris. According to Spiris and Bolagsverket, 30,008 newly registered commercial entities appeared in the first half of 2025, a 2 % increase compared to the same period in 2024.

"Even small growth is progress," continues Norström. "This modest rise breaks a worrying multi-year downward trend and highlights a return of optimism and confidence among startup founders."

Regional growth highlights:

• Gotland surged 27 %
• Dalarna +18 %
• Södermanland +15 %
• Skåne (where Elin is based) saw a healthy +5 % increase

This broad-based pickup is a strong indication that entrepreneurial energy remains alive even as Sweden navigates global uncertainty.

"As a small-scale digital entrepreneur," reflects Norström, "I see firsthand how content, community, and smart online solutions are fueling creative business growth, not just in big cities, but in towns across Sweden."

However, Elin stresses: "It's still early days. To turn this cautious optimism into sustained growth, we need continued support, simpler regulations, better access to funding, and more targeted entrepreneurial programs."

Why this matters

• Every new company counts. Small firms now contribute approximately one‑third of municipal tax revenues.
• Digital ventures are key. From e-commerce to online consulting, today's digital startups create flexible career paths and resilient platforms.
• Local impact matters. Growth extending from Stockholm to Skåne, Gotland, and beyond ensures economic opportunity isn't limited to metro areas.

"It's crucial we seize this moment," concludes Norström. "Swedish entrepreneurs are ready. Now it's up to policymakers, investors, and local communities to keep the door open."
