“Mastering Leadership for the Future – Evaluation and Final Dinner”
During this session, we will evaluate your experience of the Mentorship Program. We will pause to assess whether your initial expectations at the beginning of the program have been met and discuss how to utilise the lessons learned for future development and ongoing personal growth. For this session, we will not meet at the Swedish Chamber but instead at a restaurant (location to be confirmed) for a final dinner and certificate ceremony.
The event is only open to participants of the Swedish Chamber and Young Professionals Mentorship Program 2024.
About the Swedish Chamber Mentorship Programme
The Mentorship Program was launched in October 2012. Since then, more than 100 Young Professionals of the Swedish Chamber have followed the program and benefited from their future personal and professional growth. The many Mentors have benefited from meeting the new generation leaders of the future and learning more about their insights and values. The Mentorship Program is made possible by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in collaboration with AIMS International Netherlands B.V., a member of AIMS International. Read more here.

Experience the future of AI and Sustainability at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce Sustainability & Innovation Summit 2024!
“AI Driving Sustainable Transformation”
Date: December 6, 2024
Time: 13.30 – 17.15
Location: Hilton Hotel Amsterdam
The Swedish Chamber of Commerce is delighted to invite you to the Annual Innovation & Sustainability Summit: “AI Driving Sustainable Transformation,” taking place on December 6, 2024, at the Hilton Hotel Amsterdam.
atGPT said:
Welcome to our summit, where we explore one of the most transformative forces shaping our future: Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI is evolving at a pace beyond what we could have ever anticipated. What started as a tool for monitoring, measuring, and analysis has now become a regenerative assistant and decision-making engine, enabling breakthroughs once thought impossible—especially in the realm of sustainability.
AI’s impact is already being felt in areas like autonomous vehicles, accelerated decarbonization, optimized processes, and more efficient energy management. It is driving innovation in food distribution, resource allocation, and learning systems that help us solve complex challenges, minimize waste, and create more strategic plans for growth and well-being.
But this is just the beginning. What are the broader possibilities for AI to accelerate sustainability? What solutions are already in place, and what can we expect in the next 2, 5, or even 10 years? How do we scale these advancements to make them accessible to all, maximizing their positive impact on society and the planet?
Of course, with this power comes responsibility. AI is ultimately a tool, and its application depends on how we choose to use it. This raises critical concerns about misuse and abuse. How can we ensure that ethical and safety standards are deeply embedded in AI development? How can Europe leverage its unique technology, talent, and know-how to stay competitive and lead in this space?
Today’s discussions will address these questions and more as we delve into AI’s opportunities, challenges, and future in driving sustainable progress.
RESEARCH FACTS & FIGURES:
- It estimates that using AI for environmental applications could contribute up to $5.2 trillion USD to the global economy in 2030, a 4.4% increase relative to business as usual
- In parallel the application of AI levers could reduce worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 4% in 2030, an amount equivalent to 2.4 Gt CO2e – equivalent to the 2030 annual emissions of Australia, Canada and Japan combined
- At the same time as productivity improvements, AI could create 38.2 million net new jobs across the global economy offering more skilled occupations as part of this transition
