I am excited to be part of the journey to further develop and advance the Chamber. Our vision is that SACC will become recognised as one of the most respected, active, value-adding, and attractive forums for Swedish and Australian businesses. The forum where it is easy to establish new business contacts, increase your business network for support, opportunities, inspiration, and knowledge, and learn about Swedish-Australian culture and values.
Our Swedish business presence and investment in Australia is one of the largest in SE Asia. The SACC is a fantastic forum to share and promote what we do, as Swedish Companies. I am committed to working with SACC to increase our business network and celebrate our achievements.
At the intersection of my passion and profession lies the realm of technology innovation. In uniting the distinct strengths of Sweden and Australia, particularly in areas such as clean tech/sustainability and health innovation, we can unearth synergies awaiting exploration through enhanced collaboration between the two countries. My motivation extends to championing the Swedish-Australian Chamber of Commerce (SACC) as a dynamic platform – a conduit illuminating ingenious Swedish ideas and businesses, connecting them with the Australian market and beyond.
SACC is a great umbrella for us to participate in to support our Swedish business culture in such a geographically remote location as Australia. We also find the Swedish-Australian business discussions that are facilitated by SACC very insightful, valuable and an inclusive social atmosphere at the networking events.
The SACC has enabled Polestar to connect with like-minded Scandinavian businesses in Australia that share our values and commitment to sustainability. It’s a great network to be part of.
For VOLVO GROUP AUSTRALIA, as part of the iconic Swedish global brand, it is imperative to support SACC and its activities. The quality of the business seminars and participants are
impressive.
Planet Ark Environmental Foundation and the Australian Circular Economy Hub (ACE Hub) see the SACC as an excellent forum to share knowledge, to learn from organisations with experience in Sweden and to adapt and adopt that knowledge to benefit Australian businesses and the economy. We are excited to support the Chamber in its work through collaboration to further advance towards a more circular economy in this country.
The Embassy of Sweden is working in close cooperation with SACC and all its members. By joining forces, sharing insights and knowledge, we are able to further strengthen Swedish Australian business exchange. The SACC network events and activities are setting the stage for us all to be engaged and to learn from each other.
