The OP that I replied to mentioned Sweden, as a whole, which is not limited to just Stockholm, yeah?

If we take Sweden as a whole, there are very few opportunities outside the three big cities, Stockholm, Malmö, and Göteborg (Gothenburg).

Just saying that it’s nice in the small places like Motala can’t make businesses and people move there, unfortunately.

Motala is really nice though :)

Most of these places would also just have a hard time "scaling" if they did managed to get people or business there. One successful or a couple of smaller startups might need at least a hundred people a year. So there really needs to be something special going on for that to work out.
