From Abisko and Jukkasj\u00e4rvi to Kalix, Boden, and Harads. Five companies within Norrbotten’s hospitality sector have been awarded Dagens industri’s Gazelle Award 2026. All of them have more than doubled their turnover between 2022 and 2025. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This year’s Gazelle Companies in northern Sweden were recognized at a gala in Ume\u00e5 on October 15. Among them are E&A-Gruppen with Hotell Drottninggatan 11<\/a> and the restaurant DG11<\/a>, Lights over Lapland<\/a>, Nordic Lapland Adventure<\/a>, Arctic Bath<\/a>, and Nutti S\u00e1mi Siida<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

The companies represent different parts of the hospitality sector, from hotels and restaurants to guided nature and cultural experiences. What they have in common is that they have combined strong turnover growth with the demands for financial stability set by the Gazelle Award. <\/p>\n\n

E&A-Gruppen, Boden \u2013 324%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

E&A-Gruppen operates Hotell Drottninggatan 11 and the restaurant DG11 in central Boden. The hotel has 28 rooms and conference facilities, while the gastropub DG11 is a meeting place for both residents and visitors. The company’s turnover increased by an impressive 324% during the period. Moving forward, there are plans for a major expansion, including 69 new hotel rooms and an event and conference venue. <\/p>\n\n

Lights over Lapland, Abisko \u2013 152%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Lights over Lapland offers guided Northern Lights experiences and photo tours in and around Abisko National Park. Between 2022 and 2025, the company’s turnover increased by 152%. In connection with the Gazelle Award, the company particularly highlights the work of the guides and the administrative team behind this development. <\/p>\n\n

Nordic Lapland Adventure, Kalix \u2013 123%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Nordic Lapland Adventure operates Nordic Lapland Frevis\u00f6ren. Since Sebastian Jonsson and Jan Nilsson took over the facility in 2017, investments in new and winterized cabins have contributed to its development from a summer operation to a facility that welcomes guests year-round. Winter is now the largest season. During the period, turnover increased by 123%. <\/p>\n\n

Arctic Bath, Harads \u2013 117%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Located by the Lule River in Harads, Arctic Bath combines hotel, spa, and restaurant with architecture that has become a hallmark of the facility. Cold baths and meals with local ingredients are part of the stay here. The company’s turnover increased by 117% between 2022 and 2025. <\/p>\n\n

Nutti S\u00e1mi Siida, Jukkasj\u00e4rvi \u2013 109%<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Nutti S\u00e1mi Siida in Jukkasj\u00e4rvi offers experiences centered around S\u00e1mi culture and nature. The operations include the visitor destination M\u00e1rkanb\u00e1iki, accommodation, and guided activities where reindeer and reindeer herding play a central role. During the period, the company’s turnover increased by 109%. <\/p>\n\n

About the Gazelle Award<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

Dagens industri has been designating Gazelle Companies since 2000. The five companies are in the ‘Gazelle smaller’ category, for companies with a net turnover under 80 million Swedish Kronor. To qualify, a company must at least double its net turnover during the four-year examination period. <\/p>\n\n

Companies must also have a net turnover exceeding 10 million Swedish Kronor, at least five employees, and have increased turnover every year for the past three years. Additionally, a positive cumulative operating profit for the past four fiscal years and sound finances are required. Growth must primarily have occurred within the company’s own operations, rather than through acquisitions or mergers. Di also conducts an overall assessment of the companies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
