Location:
The Jonkoping area with its about 120,000 people is the tenth largest municipality in Sweden and includes Huskvarna, the twin city of Jonkoping, and the picturesque and scenic town of Granna on the eastern shore of Lake Vattern.J"nk"ping once was the home of Dag Hammarskjold, the Secretary General of the UN between 1953 - 1961, and Agneta Faltskog of the ABBA:s.
The country side around Jonkoping with its verdant, rolling hills speckled with lakes, forests and farms is widely recognised as one of the most beautiful in Sweden.
Jonkoping's strategic location in the heart of Sweden makes it excellent for communications. You can arrive by plane from Copenhagen or Stockholm, by train or by bus from Malmo, Stockholm or Goteborg (Gothenburg). Jonkoping International Business School (JIBS) has rapidly established itself as being the strongest academic environment in Scandinavia for entrepreneurship and research on small and medium-sized enterprises. JIBS is internationally very well reputated when it comes to research in trade, infrastructure, regional development, media management, family ownership, and tax law.
