The Gothenburg region has once again been named the Nordic region’s best logistics location by Swedish industry publication Dagens Logistik.

In its motivation, the magazine highlights the Port of Gothenburg as the hub for international imports and exports and a decisive factor behind the region’s strong position as a logistics center.

“We are pleased with the recognition, which we see as confirmation of the port’s importance and the region’s joint efforts to build a strong and innovative freight hub. The port is central to the region’s role as a logistics location, and over the past year its position has been strengthened both in Sweden and internationally. Not least through an expanded network of shipping services and continued rail development linking the port to inland destinations resulting in record volumes in 2025, increased market shares, and a strengthened role for the port as a hub for Nordic trade with the world,” says Jacob Minnhagen, Senior Market Development Manager at the Port of Gothenburg.

In its justification, Dagens Logistik assessed factors such as the versatility, accessibility and sustainability of logistics infrastructure including roads, railways, ports, air cargo airports and intermodal terminals. It also considered freight flows to and through the region, conditions for imports and exports, and proximity to population centers and consumer markets. Existing logistics establishments, logistics expertise, labor availability, as well as research and education, were also taken into account.

Growing interest in logistics establishments

“We have long maintained close collaboration with Swedavia Landvetter Airport, Business Region Gothenburg and other stakeholders across the region. Together, we are working to further increase our attractiveness for logistics establishments, and we continue to see growing interest both around the port and across the wider region,” says Jacob Minnhagen.

The Port of Gothenburg is highlighted in particular as a key logistics hub for the entire Nordic region, central to both imports and exports. It is home to the Nordic region’s largest container port and largest car/RoRo port, as well as an extensive rail network. The port is complemented by strong road, rail and air connections, making it the Nordic region’s logistics center.

The ranking has been published for 26 years, with the Gothenburg region named the best logistics location 25 times. Since 2024, Dagens Logistik has expanded the list from Sweden’s best logistics locations to the Nordic region’s best.

The Öresund region and the Stockholm region rank second and third this year, followed by Oslo, the Baltics, Helsinki, Jönköping, Bothnian Bay and Central Jutland in Denmark.
