Swedish Chambers International Days in Stockholm 13-14 June 2024

The Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce were for the first time represented at the Swedish Chambers International Days Conference in Stockholm in 13-14 June.

The Swedish Chambers International Days commenced with a site visit to Atlas Copco and Epiroc. We were welcomed by Thomas Dahlgren, Linnea Grönwall Atlas Copco and Nadim Penser Epiroc , who at their HQ mine 20 meters underground guided us through their impressive range of services and products. Thanks for hosting us very cool (literally) experience and great to hear that Australia is such an important market.

Swedish Chambers International (SCI) Chairman Andreas Hatzigeorgiou, PhD welcomed all to the second day of the SCI Days, which kicked off with the presentation of the Global Business Climate Survey conducted by Business Sweden and Swedish Chambers International. State Secretary to Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade Johan Forssell, Håkan Jevrell held the opening remarks, followed by Business Sweden CEO Jan Larsson. The survey presented a positive business climate and the general consensus was “cautiously optimistic”. The rest of the day consisted of workshops and further presentations, in which Tamara Paravlic and Mandy Pieksma joined us from the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) Sweden, together with Kajsa Guterstam, Doug Washburn and Victoria Wikström from the Swedish Institute (Svenska Institutet). The SCI Days was a great success with insightful presentations, experience sharing and networking opportunities. From the Swedish Australian Chamber of Commerce we had a great delegation taking part this year with President Jan Gardberg, Board Member Carl Wallberg and General Manager Camilla Jennings. Huge thank you to all and especially SCI representatives Theresa Ryberg M. de F. and Louise Lee Hultberg for great organisation!
