The Swedish Chamber of Commerce is delighted to welcome you to the Swedish Chamber Tech Table: M&A Forum on June 5, 2025.
At this event, we will present some of the European developments in the cloud sector – especially how Europe invests in European cloud technologies to decrease US dependencies. One of our established speakers, Björn Håkansson, Business Development Manager at TNO, has worked on this for more than five years, but the topic has become increasingly pressing – not only due to the Draghi report on European competitiveness from last year, but more recently due to Trump’s willingness to put pressure on other countries and use US companies in that process.
Will the European cloud sector be able to respond to these challenges and increase digital autonomy in Europe? Will we see more investments, more mergers & acquisitions, and more innovation in the industry to make this happen? And what role will our national and European politicians play?
Other interesting topics that we will cover during this event are:
- How is the tech M&A climate evolving in light of the US’s shifting inward focus – and how does Europe compare? by Jan Sundelin, Partner at PartInc
- What are the key trends in growth equity investment in Sweden and across Europe? by Sam Myhrman, Private Market Advisory at Nordics
We look forward to welcoming you.

“Mastering Leadership for the Future – Mindfulness and Work-life Balance”
Welcome to the fourth session of the Swedish Chamber Mentorship Program on September 18, 2025. In today’s fast-paced world, balancing professional ambitions with personal well-being is more important than ever. Mindfulness offers a powerful approach to managing stress, enhancing focus, and fostering resilience, enabling individuals to thrive both in and outside the workplace. By cultivating greater awareness and presence, leaders can make more intentional decisions, foster stronger relationships, and create a sustainable work-life balance.
Keynote Speaker: Cole Groom, Co-founder of Balance Breathing
Cole Groom is the co-founder of Balance Breathing, helping teams reduce stress and prevent burnout through science-backed breathwork. Originally from the US, he moved to the Netherlands to study at the University of Amsterdam and went on to build a career in educational technology.
After discovering breathwork as a personal tool to manage stress, he founded Balance Breathing to make mental well-being simple and accessible at work. A former mentee in this program, Cole returns to share his journey and lead a session on the power of breathwork for focus and resilience.
