Gothenburg - a city made for meetings

Gothenburg, on the scenic west coast of Sweden, is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, ingenuity, and innovative spirit. It is a supreme meeting destination, a leading research region and a fast-growing hotspot for innovation and sustainable development. The infrastructure makes sustainable choices easy, and we’re here to help if you need more inspiration. We design meetings to leave a legacy utilising leading-edge efforts for a liveable world, and organisers praise the city’s seamless operation.

Gothenburg has achieved remarkable accolades:

• Sustainability frontrunner – seven-time leader of the Global Destination Sustainability Index between 2016-2023, top-two in 2024-2025.
• Named the European Capital of Smart Tourism in 2020.
• Recognised as one of Europe’s 100 most climate-neutral and smart cities in 2022.
• UN’s global hub for Sustainable Lifestyles 2026—2027.

The strategic location in Scandinavia, only 20 minutes from the airport and world-class venues in the city centre, ensures maximum convenience for organisers and delegates. Everything is within walking distance: hotels, social venues, and attractions. You’ll find the Swedish Exhibition & Congress Centre with 1,200 rooms at in-house hotel Gothia Towers and exciting venues for networking events, such as the national science centre Universeum and the brand-new experience centre World of Volvo, right in the city centre.
