We understand private capital’s ability to drive lasting change
Gotlandian is a Sweden-based family office and investment firm. We work as a long-term partner and advisor and aim to contribute to community value and drive economic growth.
Gotlandian was formed in October 2024 through the merger of several investment companies, including Trojaborg Holding AB, all owned by Björn Nilsson. Through Trojaborg AB, we are the largest shareholder of Gotlandsbolaget, a company that has been part of our family since the mid 1960s. We partner with the private investment office Wilton Row for investment and financial services.
The name is inspired by Gotland’s unique geological history, symbolising resilience, and development – reflecting Gotlandian’s commitment to lasting growth and local community development.

At Gotlandian we believe in supporting big dreams, especially among young people in sports. From the tennis court to the racetrack and the ice rink, we support young talents pursuing their ambitions.
We contribute to Gotland Hockeyutveckling, an initiative launched to grow ice hockey on the island. Gotland Hockeyutveckling invests in Visby Roma Hockey’s elite program and contributes financially to make the sport more accessible to all, including a new arena: Visborg Arena
Our partnership with Good to Great helps young tennis players build the skills they need to succeed – both on and off the court.
And then there’s speed: we back Dino Racing AB, supporting Dino Beganovic in his racing career. Go Dino!
