Between 15–19 September, Kerstin Gerlagh represented the Netherlands during the Swedish Chamber International (SCI) Board Members’ visit to New York and Washington, D.C., where the Board convened for meetings and strategic discussions aimed at further strengthening and professionalising SCI for the future.
The hosting chambers, the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in New York (SACCNY) and the Swedish Chamber of Commerce US, had prepared an excellent supplementary programme for the Board. Highlights included a dinner at the residence of the Consul General of Sweden in New York, featuring distinguished speakers, as well as meetings with the CFO and General Manager of Spotify at their New York offices. The programme also included sessions with Nancy Fischer, Financial Times, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, Moody’s, AmCham, United States Council for International Business (USCIB) and several other insightful and impactful discussions. These engagements provided valuable perspectives on today’s U.S. business climate and enhanced our collective understanding of transatlantic business opportunities.
Through these activities, we continue to expand and strengthen our global network, united in the promotion of Swedish business worldwide.
