Österåker Municipality

What Österåker Municipality does

Österåker Municipality (Österåkers kommun) is a Swedish local-government entity headquartered at Alceahuset, Hackstavägen 22, Åkersberga, Sweden, serving approximately 47,000 residents across the Stockholm archipelago including 1,100 islands and 93 km of coastline. It discharges statutory public services including childcare (förskola), K-12 education, elderly care, social services, building permits, infrastructure, waste management, water and sewage, cultural activities, and sports and recreation. Revenue is not commercial — the municipality is funded primarily through municipal taxes, intergovernmental grants, and statutorily regulated fees — and it does not disclose a traditional revenue figure.

Its core digital surface is anchored by the osteraker.se website built on the SiteVision CMS and the self-service portal service.osteraker.se, which transitioned to the OpenE platform in December 2025. Authentication is handled via BankID/Mobilt BankID. Supporting platforms include Vizzit (visitor analytics), ReadSpeaker (text-to-speech accessibility), rek.ai (anonymous page-suggestion personalization), Infracontrol (fault reporting, with mobile app), Infoval (service comparison, launched 2025), IST Administration (school management), Unikum (school communications), FRI Webb-Bokning (sports bookings), and ArcGIS (digital maps including an interactive Digital Twin). Accessibility is pursued under WCAG 2.0 and the Swedish Act on Accessibility to Digital Public Service, with a self-assessment completed January 8, 2025.

The municipality operates a wholly owned subsidiary ecosystem spanning real estate, housing, fiber, and utilities: Armada Fastighets AB (with sub-units Armada Bostäder, Armada Kommunfastigheter, Österåker Exploateringsfastigheter, and Österåkers Stadsnät AB), and Österåkersvatten AB for water, sewage, and waste; Roslagsvatten AB is jointly owned with six other municipalities. Communication channels include the 'Ditt Österåker' newsletter (~8 issues/year, also as audio and Daisy disc), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, RSS feeds, and a physical service center at Alceahuset (Mon–Thu 08–17, Fri 08–16). Sofia Nyström serves as Acting Communications Director.
