The Nordic Chambers and Embassies in the Netherlands are very pleased to invite you to the #NordicTalks 2022 – Food for Good Summit and EXPO.
The food system is incredibly complex as it spans through different resources and across the globe. We need a complete overhaul of the system to be able to feed 10 billion people with nutritious food by 2050. In #NordicTalks on September 22, 2022, we will meet up live at The Amsterdamse Proeflokaal to follow up on the insights and takeaways from #NordicTalks digital Food for Good event in February 2022.
At #NordicTalk Food for Good on September 22, 2022, we bring together business leaders, entrepreneurs, politicians, and academics from the Nordic countries and from the Netherlands to address how we can contribute to the sustainable and healthy transformation of our global food systems. This will include insights on changes in nutrition sources, urban ecosystems, and local farming to shorten the supply chains and technology – all to ensure food security and resilience in times of climate change, economic decline, and war conflict in Europe.
We are happy to announce that we are offering you the opportunity to join us, learn, taste, and network free of charge. For more information, visit the #NordicTalks website.

Golden tips for consumers from #NordicTalk Food for Good February 2022:
- Be your own gardener – see what you can grow on your own to realize what is the effort behind the whole process and also the value of the food once you put your energy into it
- Sniff, Look and Taste before you throw away food just because based on the label it is expired
- Support your local producers
- Educate yourself of what are you eating, read what are the ingredients and nutritions of your choices. Choose smart! And explore new foods from time to time, keeping your mind open
- ENJOY – on your own, with family and friends – because food is such a big part of a culture and a way to express emotions

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce Women Business Leadership Program is tailormade to personal needs and will help you identify the obstacles to your success, as well as guide you towards becoming the best version of yourself – both as a leader and in your private life. Despite being successful in their roles and producing positive results, many business leaders and professionals experience a lack of confidence, low energy levels, stress, and fatigue. They often feel as though they are not being heard and are unsure of themselves and where they are heading. Many leaders feel both physically and mentally drained because they do not take care of their bodies and mind.
With the Swedish Chamber of Commerce Women Business Leadership Program 2022, we offer 3 Masterclasses this fall with 3 different topics to find your leadership identity, empower yourself to be fit to lead, and learn to use your network. Sign up for all 3 Masterclasses and receive a 25% reduction on the total participation fee or sign up individually for the event that you are interested in attending. You will be working towards your personal goals and developing your leadership skills and you can get a better idea of what changes you need to make to live your best life. All programs include coaching by Malin Hedlund who will give you the theoretical background information you need, provide practical exercises, facilitate teamwork and individual tasks, and exercises to practice in your environment until the next session. At each session, you will also meet an inspirational speaker or role model with a close connection to the topic.
SPECIAL OFFER
Possibility to book 2 personal coaching sessions with Malin for an additional cost of € 250 incl. BTW (Normal price € 700 excl. btw) Please indicate in your registration if you are interested to add this extra service.
TESTIMONY
WHY SHOULD YOU SIGN UP FOR THE SWEDISH CHAMBER WOMEN BUSINESS LEADERSHIP MASTER CLASSES:
“Participating in the Women Business Leadership program, provided by Malin via the Swedish Chamber, has been a great help in my daily life, both private and business-wise! It has provided me with tips & tricks to be better aware of why I do things the way you do them, and if needed how I might be able to change/improve. The term “ant-steps” is one that often comes to my mind. I really recommend you to join a session!
If you are not able to do all three, one is more than not at all! But I’m sure if you go for one you will most likely want to join all sessions. I always leave these sessions with such a positive boosted feeling.”
