We are very happy to have hosted a successful webinar on Swedish companies entering the U.S. market January 15th.
A huge thank you to our fantastic speakers, Kaarina Kvaavik from our member company Woolpower, Alexander Högman from Camphouse and Annette Gustafsson Guenther and Marie Nordgren from A.E Gustafsson from Law Offices A.E., for sharing your insights and expertise. Your experiences and advice on market entry, key success factors and legal considerations were incredibly valuable for all participants.
We also want to thank our co-hosting chambers SACC-USA, SACC-New York, SACC-Chicago and SACC-DC - for making this collaboration possible.
We look forward to hosting similar events in the future and continuing to support Swedish businesses exploring the U.S. market!
We successfully co-hosted a breakfast roundtable together with the Honorary Consulate of Sweden in Boston and the Consulate General of Sweden in New York, welcoming Swedish researchers, professors and company representatives based in Massachusetts for a unique opportunity to engage directly with Sweden’s Minister for Migration, Johan Forssell, along with representatives from Swedish universities, during their visit to Boston on January 12th.
This intimate event allowed participants to briefly present their work and take part in an informal and insightful discussion with the Minister and the university delegation.
The morning was a great success and was followed by a reception at the Lund-Lagnemma Residence, hosted by Ann-Kristin Lund, Honorary Consul of Sweden in Boston, together with Erik Ullenhag, Consul General of Sweden in New York.
We sincerely thank all partners and participants and look forward to welcoming more Swedish ministerial visits to Boston in the future
THEME OF 2026: AI & LIFE SCIENCE: WHAT’S NEXT?
Artificial intelligence is redefining what is possible in Life Science. The theme “AI & Life Science: What’s Next?” explores the latest breakthroughs, key challenges, and future opportunities in AI-driven healthcare and biotechnology. As this year’s theme, it highlights how rapidly evolving AI technologies are transforming every stage of the life science ecosystem. From research and diagnostics to drug development and patient care, this virtual conference brings together Swedish and American perspectives to discuss how innovation is shaping the next era of Life Science.
WHAT IS LIFE SCIENCE BRIDGE?
The Life Science Bridge is a joint initiative between the regional Swedish-American Chambers of Commerce in San Diego, San Francisco/Silicon Valley, New England, and Minnesota. The initiative supports life science companies by offering market insights, networking opportunities, and events that foster connections, collaboration, and knowledge exchange between Sweden and the leading U.S. life science ecosystems.
We invite you to take part in this year’s Bridging the Gap and engage in a forward looking dialogue at the intersection of artificial intelligence and life science. Join peers, researchers, and industry representatives from Sweden and the United States to exchange perspectives, build meaningful connections, and contribute to shaping the next phase of innovation in the life science sector.
