Swedish Trade and COVID-19
The Swedish Chambers of Commerce in APAC are pleased to invite you to a webinar with two key patrons in the field of Swedish foreign trade and business: Anna Hallberg, Sweden’s Minister for Foreign Trade and Jacob Wallenberg, Chairman of Investor AB.
How has the Swedish trade policy functioned during the COVID-19 crisis and how will it work once the pandemic is over? What industrial support measures with regards to exports and international activities have been put in place? What can we learn from Asia, currently ahead of Europe in terms of pandemic recovery? These, among other questions, will be discussed in this webinar.
Our speakers will share their experiences from the public sector in managing the pandemic domestically, as well as provide insights into the private sector from the unique perspective of the Wallenberg family.
The discussion will be moderated by Peter Ling-Vannerus, Chief Representative of SEB Beijing.
