Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce I Winter News 2020

CHAMBER UPDATE

In the last few months, the Chamber has been busy creating valuable content for online events and webinars, which has proven very positive for our members. The introduction of webinars has opened up new opportunities for SACC and its members and encouraged collaboration initiatives across the Swedish Chambers in Asia Pacific, European Chambers, EABC and the Australian Business Council of Sweden.

During the pandemic the Chamber has also organised platforms for communication enabling leaders from Swedish companies to share experiences, challenges and opportunities with representatives from the Embassy, Business Sweden and SACC with the purpose to identify areas of support and cooperation within and across sectors. Our aim is to continue running online events and webinars on a regular basis and we welcome feedback from members on topics, themes and focus.

As the social distancing restrictions are starting to ease in different states we are excited to start planning face to face meetings at all our chapters. There will be a few smaller events and some combined with live-streaming. We have also started to plan the SACC Annual Christmas and Business Awards Event which is planned to be held at the end of November. We welcome any company/enterprise/young business executive or entrepreneur in Australia with a strong connection to Sweden to enter.

Keep your eyes on the SACC socials Linkedin and Facebook for further updates as announcements are made about future events, and check out the Recent Events and Webinars page on the SACC website for summaries and recordings of our recent presentations. Please contact us for questions and further information: sacc@swedishchamber.com.au.
