The Swedish Chamber’s Entrepreneurs Café
The Swedish Chamber of Commerce and the Young Professionals organize four Entrepreneurs Cafés each year. Each Entrepreneurs Café includes a Keynote Speaker and group discussions in order to learn as much as possible and to share experiences and expertise. You will go home inspired but also with a toolbox for how to further explore the topic of the Entrepreneurs Café in which you have participated.

GDPR: What? Why? and How?
Join us for our first Entrepreneurs Café of 2018 to learn more about the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) which is entering into force on May 25, 2018. Which are the key areas of change introduced by the GDPR and what are the critical areas organisations need to be aware of when preparing for compliance?
The new law marks a wide-reaching and significant shift in the way that organisations must protect personal data. For companies in the beginning of their process, you will get a concrete presentation about how GDPR will affect your company, the implementation of the law and how the company IT structure and processes will be affected by our keynote speaker Maeson Ethard, Base Cyber Security.
