What Veckans Affärer does

Veckans Affärer (VA) was a Swedish-language weekly business magazine headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, operating as part of the Bonnier News media group. The publication covered Swedish business, finance, and corporate affairs, serving a professional readership of executives, investors, and business decision-makers with reporting on listed companies, markets, and executive profiles. VA operated as a sister title to the flagship Dagens industri within Bonnier News' business media portfolio.

VA's business model was consistent with traditional weekly business magazines: revenue was generated primarily through print and digital subscriptions to individual and corporate readers, supplemented by advertising sold to B2B advertisers targeting the Swedish business audience. The publication produced editorial coverage including interviews, analysis, and rankings (such as lists of Sweden's wealthiest individuals and most attractive employers). Distribution combined newsstand, subscription, and digital channels under the Bonnier News umbrella.

On 4 September 2019, Veckans Affärer ceased publication as a standalone title, with its content, editorial staff, and audience consolidated into the parent Dagens industri brand. Subsequent editorial initiatives from the former VA team, such as the Di Jämställt Näringsliv podcast launched in May 2020, have continued under the Di masthead. As of the input data, the standalone VA entity is discontinued and no longer operates as an independent publication.

• Fortune: Long-established business magazine covering corporate news, finance, and industry analysis. Comparable in editorial positioning to a Swedish business magazine serving executives and investors.
