Swedish term or phrase: Trångsviksbolaget
This is a development-concern that promotes the interests of local businesses in the Swedish town of Trångsviken (a little village located between Åre and Östersund).

Can anybody tell me whether there is a fixed English name for this organisation?

Many thanks in advance.

English translation:Trångsviksbolaget
Explanation:
Trångsviken is one of my neighbouring villages and a hive of entrepeneurship. This is the name of an organisation so don't translate it - you explained what it is very well in your question so I would simply do the same in your translation.

I should perhaps explain what it is. It\'s a group of local businesses that co-operate to promote the interests of the village and their companies (which include Trangia - camping stoves). Åre, the ski resort in the same region, has a development group called Åreföretagarna.

Explanation:
Trångsviken Development Corporation, is what I would say (if you want non-Scandavian speakers to understand what it is).

It could also be a Tourist Board, depending upon what it actually does.
