Our three core focus areas: Innovation, Sustainability, and Diversity & Inclusion
We are thrilled to introduce you to our three core focus areas: Innovation, Sustainability, and Diversity & Inclusion. These three areas are at the heart of our organization, and we strive to integrate them into all our activities.
Innovation is crucial to our continued success as a Chamber of Commerce. We are dedicated to fostering an environment that encourages new ideas and creative solutions. Our events and programs are designed to promote innovation and provide opportunities for networking and collaboration.
Sustainability is another key focus area for us. We believe that it is our responsibility to help build a sustainable future for both businesses and the environment. We work closely with our members to promote sustainable practices and to develop innovative solutions that reduce our collective impact on the planet.
Finally, Diversity & Inclusion is a core value that we hold dear. We believe that every individual, regardless of their background or identity, has something unique to offer. We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive community that celebrates diversity and promotes equality.
Our events and programs are carefully crafted to align with these three focus areas. By attending our events, you will have the opportunity to network with like-minded individuals who share your passion for innovation, sustainability, and diversity & inclusion.

New Chairperson of the Young Professionals Committee
The Swedish Chamber of Commerce welcomes Joachim Rittfeldt Hofvenschiöld as the New Chairman of the Young Professionals Committee!
Joachim's journey in entrepreneurship began at an early age when he embarked on a career as a professional esports athlete. He then transitioned to the business side of esports and gaming, leading marketing and social media channels for prominent companies in the industry. In recent years he has shifted his focus towards his own ventures, investments, and advisory work within the tech and web 3 sectors.
"As the new YP Chairperson, I am thrilled to be part of the Young Professionals' ongoing growth and development. I am enthusiastic about propelling our work forward and creating a multitude of exciting events and networking opportunities in collaboration with the YP Committee and Swe-Cham Team. When I initially joined the Young Professionals, my goal was to maintain connections with Swedish traditions, companies, and individuals. The YP network offers a tremendous opportunity to fulfill these objectives and to enhance integration upon relocating to the Netherlands, both personally and professionally. The Young Professionals opens doors for networking, business opportunities, and friendships."
