Svedab

Svedab, formally Svensk-Danska Broförbindelsen SVEDAB AB, is a Swedish state-owned limited company established to own and manage the Swedish land connections of the Öresund Bridge.

The company is based in Malmö, Sweden, and operates in both Sweden and Denmark. Its vision aligns with the broader Öresund region goal of seamless movement of people and goods across the border. In 2025, the board announced Lars Erik Fredriksson as new CEO effective January 1, 2026. Svedab remains a key player in the infrastructure linking Sweden and Denmark.
