MASTERCLASS III:  Personal Branding – and How to Build your Power Network

On November 22, 2022, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce hosted Masterclass III in the Women Business Leadership Program – The Road to Successful Leadership. In this Masterclass, Executive Coach and Program Manager talked about how to be empowered and confident to take action, how to create a Power Network built on trust and how to start with small “ant-steps” toward your goals and how to implement the leadership style that suits who you are.

In this last Masterclass, Certificates were awarded by Malin Hedlund to those who had successfully joined all three Masterclasses The Road to Successful Leadership this fall.

This was the last Masterclass for this year and for the Women Business Masterclass Series, and the Swedish Chamber of Commerce would like to thank Malin for this year, for being a fantastic coach and for her very interactive and inspiring Masterclasses with practical exercises and individual tasks with the goal to work on personal development and growth and to become a successful leader. We hope to welcome you back next year for interesting Women Business Leadership events in a different form.

The Swedish Chamber cordially thanks Inter IKEA Systems B.V., Fagerhult, and Storytel for supporting the Swedish Chamber of Commerce Women Business Leadership Program and for making it possible.

KPMG Meijburg’s Presentation of the Dutch Government Budget 2023

September 28, 2022

14:00-14:45

Zoom

Welcome to a presentation of the Dutch Government’s Budget for 2023 & the main tax topics, a digital event organized by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with KPMG Meijburg & Co.

On Tuesday 20 September the Dutch government will present their budget for 2023. Following the high inflation figures, we expect that the government will announce measures to compensate citizens as well as companies. However, eventually somebody will have to pay the bill – now or in the near future. This will have an impact on the tax measures that will be presented. During a 45 minutes presentation, Jan Hollemans and Tijs van Ruitenbeek will explain and discuss the budget proposal and highlight the main tax topics.

This is a Member-by-Member Event organized by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce together with a member company who is sharing their expertise and valid business updates with the Swedish Chamber of Commerce community.

*The event is free of charge.

This is a collaboration with:

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.
