The Swedish Institute is responsible for running the Twitter account @Sweden. From 2011 to 2018 the account was the location of the Curators of Sweden project, where a new "curator" was selected to tweet from the account each week. In 2017, SI blocked 14,000 Twitter accounts from interacting with @Sweden. Among the blocked were journalists, authors, politicians, businessmen and ambassadors. When the block list was reported in the media, SI lifted the blocks and apologized. When media, with support from the constitutional Principle of Public Access, asked to review the list of blocked accounts the government agency deleted it.

The Swedish Institute was one of the four associations involved in the development of The Swedish Number.
