Project partner Invest Sweden AB

What Project partner Invest Sweden AB does

Projectpartner Invest Sverige AB is a Swedish project management consulting firm founded in 2002 by three KTH alumni — Anders Norlin, Tommy Backman, and Joacim Öhman — and headquartered at Upplandsgatan in central Stockholm. The firm specializes in samhällsbyggnad (societal-building) projects, providing project management consultants for leading and coordinating roles across urban development, public transport, and infrastructure programs in the Mälardalen region (Stockholm and Uppsala counties). Its core offering is the placement of IPMA/PMI-certified consultants into client project organizations, supplemented by training programs and an annual Utbildningsdag conference co-organized with Svenskt Projektforum. The firm is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified, supporting eligibility for Swedish public-sector framework agreements (ramavtal).

The company's intellectual property centers on Projektledningsträdet (the Project Management Tree), a proprietary competency framework that structures internal training and consultant development around five areas: project methodology, project environment, leadership and team membership, subject-matter expertise, and personal attributes. The methodology draws on PMBOK Guide, ISO 21500, and Susan Wheelan's group development theory. Complementary product lines include course-leadership roles in EGA's 'Projekt och organisation' curriculum, a joint course with Vesterlins on urban development projects, and an internal AI training program ('AI för projektledare') that extends the firm's positioning into AI-enabled project management practice.

Commercially, Projectpartner operates as a boutique professional services firm under a consulting-fee model, with revenue derived from individual consultant placements and full project-management-organization deployments. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales into Swedish government agencies, regional authorities, and municipalities, primarily through direct outreach, networking, and framework agreements. Ownership remains with founders and senior management, including CEO & Owner Sara Söderstam, with no disclosed private equity or venture capital backing. The firm does not offer a software product or API; its competitive position rests on certified talent, methodology IP, and recurring public-sector relationships.

Broad incumbents

• WSP: Global engineering consultancy with a large Swedish practice (WSP Sverige) providing project management, design, and advisory services to public infrastructure clients. Comparable as a competitor for major public-sector framework agreements in Mälardalen, though it offers a much broader multi-disciplinary portfolio.
• Sweco: Nordic-headquartered engineering, design, and project management consultancy with deep Swedish public sector exposure. Competes for the same Trafikverket, Region Stockholm, and municipal framework agreements, but at significantly larger scale.
• Ramboll: International engineering, consulting, and project management firm with a strong Nordics footprint. Targets the same public sector infrastructure and urban development clients in Sweden and competes on larger, multi-disciplinary program mandates.
