Nyköping Local Authority sees growth as a prerequisite for developing the municipality. There are roughly 4,500 companies here, with 60% of these sole proprietorships. Our excellent location, good relations with universities and university colleges in the region, the establishment of Ryan Air’s northern hub at Stockholm Skavsta Airport and an otherwise favourable business climate make us a good place to set up business in the Mälardalen region. Nyköping is located on the coast an hour south of Stockholm. Its proximity to the major cities of Europe via Stockholm Skavsta Airport, to the archipelago and the cultural landscape of Sörmland make Nyköping an attractive place to live. There are roughly 35,000 people living in central Nyköping and close to 51,000 in the whole municipality. There are 23,400 households in the municipality, with 9,600 of these individual homes and 13,800 apartments.
