Meet Armanda Willems, member of the Innovation & Tech Committee
Meet Swedish Chamber Innovation & Tech Committee Member Armanda Willems! The Innovation and Tech Committee assists the Chamber with insights into emerging technologies, working towards enhancing current tech initiatives and introducing new events, round tables, and innovation programs for startups, scaleups, investors, and multinational corporations from Sweden and the Netherlands.
“In the committee, we can bring together the tech knowledge and share this with other companies in Sweden and the Netherlands. Talking about the latest trends, but also looking into the current technical innovations makes it really interesting and valuable.
I think that AI is a very popular topic and something that will change many times in 2024. Most companies are just “at the beginning” of using this great technology, so I’m convinced that this will only become bigger, better, and useful for almost every organization.
I am also interested in digitalization, since it is crucial to be able to grow as a company.”

Key findings from Reuters Institute Digital News Report 2023
The Reuters Digital News Report 2023 reveals that 22% of Swedes and 27% of Dutch sometimes or often avoid the news. As a strategy to tackle news avoidance, the Swedish public broadcaster SVT started the initiative "Fika med SVT", involving conversations over coffee with thousands of Swedes to better understand the audience's needs. The project resulted in a shift to more constructive and solution-oriented news reporting. The goal is to include constructive elements in each national news broadcasting, emphasizing solutions to societal issues.
