History

[edit]

The ministry originally held the name of Ministry of Industry from its establishment in 1969. Between 1991 and 2022, the ministry had different names although Ministry of Enterprise was included in the name in some way.

The ministry was reshaped on 1 January 2023 when the Ministry of the Environment was merged into the Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation, forming the Ministry for Climate and Enterprise.[2]

It's located on Herkulesgatan 17 in Stockholm.
