On May 28, 2025, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce proudly held its 65th Annual General Meeting, generously hosted by Patron Member AKD at their prestigious premises in Amsterdam.
During the meeting, the Chamber had the distinct honour of welcoming five new Board Members, representing Cindy Kroon, Vattenfall, Ellis-Jan van der Hout, SKF, Wiebe Schmitz, Saab, Peter Magnusson, Scania Production Zwolle, and Ashkan Danaei, Tetra Pak. Their appointments underscore the continued strength and diversity of the Chamber’s leadership. We extend our sincere gratitude to all Board Members, past and present, for their invaluable commitment and contributions, which enable the Chamber to maintain its role as a vital business platform within the Dutch market.
The meeting also marked a moment of appreciation for several retiring Board Members, who were warmly thanked for their long-standing service and dedication to the Chamber’s mission.
“We sincerely thank you for your loyal commitment to the Swedish Chamber of Commerce and your continued efforts in strengthening the vital relationship between Sweden and the Netherlands. Your dedication and support are truly invaluable to our shared mission and greatly appreciated.” – Chairperson, Jan Sundelin
