Västerås at a glance
Mälarporten grows by the station
Between the city centre and Lake Mälaren, the City of Västerås is developing Mälarporten around the central station. The plans include 7,000 new homes and 10,000 workplaces, along with parks, schools and services. If you want an office close to the train and the centre, this is the area to watch.
A business community built on tech
Västerås has around 13,000 companies, and ABB is the largest private employer. Other large employers include ICA Sverige, Hitachi Energy, Alstom and Westinghouse. That makes the city a natural base for consultants, suppliers and service firms that want to be close to customers in energy, industry and retail.
Choose a location to suit daily life
An office in the centre puts the station, restaurants and customers within walking distance, while premises further out often give more space and parking. Mälardalen University has a campus in the city, which helps with recruitment. If you are unsure, name both the centre and a location further out in your request.
