A MEETING POINT FOR WORLD CLASS EDUCATION AND BUSINESS

New England is a great place to live and a great place to do business. 13 million people live in the New England states Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The region is host to some of America's most recognized companies and educational institutions. Our climate has four distinct and moderate seasons and the region has some of America's most scenic and accessible mountains, coasts, and countryside. New England is the birthplace of the American Revolution and has some of America's richest history.

New England and its famous Route 128 Companies led the Minicomputer Revolution in the 70s and 80s. Today, New England is leading the way in Biotechnology, Medical Equipment, Optical Networking, Semi Conductors, and Software. The New England states host several of the highest ranked universities in the entire US, with names such as Harvard, Yale, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Dartmouth College, Babson College, Wellesley College, and Boston University. Boston and the neighboring Cambridge are home cities of around 30 universities and colleges.
 

THE SWEDISH-AMERICAN OPPORTUNITY

The Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce joins markets… and people. Our Chamber is located 20 minutes from Boston downtown and close to the pulsing business and educational life.

Sweden and New England have a rich tradition of commercial, cultural, and educational exchange. Many Swedish companies already call New England home for their American business and, as the importance of technology grows, more and more Scandinavian companies look to New England for skills, resources, and leadership. The Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce of New England is your gateway to one of the most dynamic business regions in the United States.

The Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce of New England has been actively supporting business since 1983 when it was established as a regional chapter of the umbrella organization, the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce, located in Washington DC.
