This was announced at the formal signing of the partnership agreement by Fredrik Fexe, Executive Vice President, Strategy & Business Development, at Business Sweden (the Swedish Trade and Invest Council), and Marc Siemering, Deutsche Messe’s Senior Vice President for Industry, Energy & Logistics, HANNOVER MESSE & CeMAT.

2018年4月24日——2019年，瑞典將成為工業(yè)技術(shù)交易會漢諾威工業(yè)博覽會的正式合作伙伴國。這是瑞典貿(mào)易與投資委員會戰(zhàn)略與業(yè)務(wù)發(fā)展執(zhí)行副總裁Fredrik Fexe與德國漢諾威展覽公司負(fù)責(zé)漢諾威工業(yè)博覽會&漢諾威國際物流展工業(yè)、能源和物流業(yè)務(wù)高級副總裁Marc Siemering正式簽署合作協(xié)議時(shí)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，不同的合作伙伴國家都會在漢諾威工業(yè)博覽會上備受贊譽(yù)。這不僅吸引了觀眾和新聞記者對這個(gè)特色國家的高度關(guān)注，而且引發(fā)政府最高層的大量討論。成為合作伙伴國，瑞典是從2018年合作伙伴國墨西哥手中接過這一角色。

“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.”

“瑞典政府和工業(yè)界明確承諾實(shí)施數(shù)字化轉(zhuǎn)型，”德國漢諾威展覽公司董事局主席Jochen Köckler博士說道，“這使得瑞典與漢諾威工業(yè)博覽會完美契合。”

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.

通過2017年初簽署的雙邊創(chuàng)新伙伴關(guān)系，瑞典與德國之間的關(guān)系進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)。這一伙伴關(guān)系需要政府、經(jīng)濟(jì)和機(jī)構(gòu)層面在工業(yè)4.0的流動性、工業(yè)數(shù)字化推進(jìn)、聯(lián)合研究活動和試驗(yàn)臺項(xiàng)目方面進(jìn)行合作以及促進(jìn)中小企業(yè)的數(shù)字化和自動化。

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.

瑞典經(jīng)濟(jì)取得穩(wěn)步增長。瑞典在從商業(yè)環(huán)境到初創(chuàng)企業(yè)、創(chuàng)新和生活質(zhì)量等各個(gè)方面的國際比較中排名很高。悠久的商業(yè)意識和高水平的教育背景以及支持性的政府政策使該國成為充滿活力的初創(chuàng)社區(qū)和全球眾多知名品牌的家園，包括沃爾沃、伊萊克斯、愛立信、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，福布斯將瑞典列為世界上最好的經(jīng)商國家，全球可持續(xù)競爭力指數(shù)將瑞典評為世界上最具競爭力的經(jīng)濟(jì)體。在孕育出Spotify、Klarna、Skype、King和iZettle等科技巨頭之后，斯德哥爾摩成為一塊無可否認(rèn)的科技熱土。事實(shí)上，按人均算，瑞典首都是硅谷之后全球最大的獨(dú)角獸工廠。瑞典也是歐盟最具創(chuàng)新力的國家，研發(fā)人員占據(jù)勞動力的比例位居前列。根據(jù)國家RepTrak指數(shù)，瑞典全球領(lǐng)先并且?guī)椭鸬浍@得“世界最佳聲譽(yù)”的其他方面還包括性別平等、開放和腐敗指數(shù)低等。
