"The Young Professionals network is a fantastic place to meet other people where we can learn from each other and grow together, giving us a significant leap into our professional development here in the Netherlands. Since my first interaction with the Young Professionals of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce, I have gained valuable contacts and friendships where we have learned from each other professionally and personally. The very first YP event I attended was an Entrepreneurs Café about Blockchain technology. It sparked the very first idea for the non-governmental organization that I later started. The Young Professionals of the Swedish Chamber is a fantastic network for personal development as well as meeting new people, with whom you can share ideas and develop together."

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce Mentorship Program 2020 – 2021
The Swedish Chamber of Commerce Mentorship Program has in the past years become a well-liked and well-evaluated, recurring item on the annual agenda of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce.
Wilma Buis, former Managing Director of Mercuri Urval, has lead this program with her expertise and enthusiasm, which made it what it is to date. Thanks a lot, Wilma.
This year Kerstin Gerlagh, General Manager of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands, has asked me to take on the role of facilitating this program.
Having been a Mentor within this program for the past 2 years and being a professional business coach and trainer, I am very excited to take on the challenge. As Mentor, I have had the privilege to partner with 2 very bright and ambitious young professionals. I think I can say that both the mentees and I learned a lot from each other.
Please let me introduce myself and my organisation briefly:
My name is Hendrik Jan Guitink, I am the Managing Partner of AIMS International Netherlands B.V., member of AIMS International, a global leader in Executive Search and Leadership Consulting with offices in over 50 countries. We Find&Grow Your Leaders. Within our Talent Management Practice, coaching and mentoring are two aspects that we specialize in as part of Leadership Development Programs or for individual cases.
I am married to a Swedish beauty and also have a very strong business relationship with our AIMS partner in Sweden, delivering our services to our mutual clients. Hence the membership of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce.
The ambition for the Mentorship Program is to give young professionals the opportunity to connect with a senior business executive outside of his or her direct environment. Giving the participants access to guidance in issues concerning their future career.
As a group we will work on specific topics such as culture and building trusted relationships and we will invite subject matter experts to come and talk to us. The Mentees and Mentors will also spend time together on subjects of their own choice.
We are looking forward to start the new program in October.
Kind regards,
Hendrik Jan Guitink

Words of the Chairwoman of the Swedish Chamber Young Professionals, Marta Radinovic Lukic
Another great and, literally, eventful year is behind us. For the Young Professionals of the Swedish Chamber, the last year meant another successful year of forming new professional connections, new friendships, hosting old but gold traditions and embarking on new concepts.
What inspired me to join the Young Professionals network of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands during the YP's 10-year-old anniversary 22 September 2017 was the great energy during the event, the diversity of people and the hot topics discussed that evening - innovation & entrepreneurship. And this is what I still see that drives new people to join our amazing network, and the 'old' people to stay. The Young Professional network is a place where Swedes can feel at home away from home, where others can learn how it is to live, work, and socialize in Sweden, and where we blend this all together while indulging in the Dutch culture. The network is also a place where we create new professional connections, learn about new industries and topics, and through which many of us find new job opportunities. In the year of 2019 we did all of the above in great spirit through hosting multiple pub quizzes; the Mentorship program and the Women program, numerous lunch talks on hot topics, brought in the light at the Lucia event and networked during numerous afterwork activities. Our move to the Epicenter building in Amsterdam also made us a little bit more, well, epic. We got to join the official opening party of the Epicenter, we get to mingle with the hottest start-up scene in the city on a daily basis, and we can now call the amazing and sustainable building our home. On top of all of this, we introduced a new concept - the collaboration of the Nordic Chambers of Commerce for the Young Professionals. This means that each country will host a new event each quarter, bringing us to new parts of the Netherlands and to new Nordic networks and friends. It is with a lot of joy I look ahead to 2020; a year where we get to do more events, have more fun, and introduce maybe even more concepts. We would also in 2020 like to focus even more on what the Young Professionals would want us to organize, so if you have ideas - please let us know. And lastly, I hope to see you all soon.
