On May 28, 2025, Team Sweden, comprising the Swedish Embassy, Business Sweden, and the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, presented the Business Climate Survey Netherlands 2025 in Amsterdam. Attended by Ambassador H.E. Mr. Johannes Oljelund and Ms. Camilla Mellander, Director General for Trade at the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, the event highlighted key insights into Swedish business performance in the Dutch market.
This year’s survey reports a 55% answering rate among Swedish companies, reflecting both optimism and ongoing challenges. The findings were presented by Malin Alders and Alice Frykhammar, followed by a panel discussion, including Mr. Douwe Dirks of NORNORM, Ms. Ruth de Jager of Storytel, Mr. Hans Vos of FlexLink, and Mr. Cees Westera of Public Matters, led by Mr. Tomas Korseman of Business Sweden.
Ms. Mellander underscored the importance of EU unity and free trade amid rising global protectionism.
The event was hosted at AKD’s Amsterdam office, with gratitude extended to all participating companies for their valuable contributions.
