SACC SUMMIT 2025 - SAN DIEGO

The annual SACC Summit

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending the annual SACC Summit - this year hosted in beautiful San Diego. This key event brings together all 19 Swedish-American Chambers of Commerce across the United States, uniting hundreds of business leaders, innovators and decision-makers from both sides of the Atlantic for three days of cross-country insights, collaboration, and premium networking.

November 11th:
One of the sponsors, Skapa by Saab, hosted a welcoming reception and networking event at their beautiful facilities located in Point Loma. This offered an exceptional opportunity to connect with fellow participants over refreshments and food.

November 12th:
The Summit conference was held at the Carté Hotel and was featured insightful panels discussing life science, cleantech, defense, telecommunications and global collaborations.
Following the conference, an exclusive networking event took place aboard a Hornblower boat we enjoyed stunning skyline views and refreshments - a perfect setting to build meaningful connections in a relaxed atmosphere.

November 13th:
SACC USA Internal Day - held exclusively for the Swedish-American Chambers of Commerce, including board members and interns. This was a fantastic oportunity for everyone to share ideas, discuss our different ways of working and explore future intiatives within the SACC network.

A big thank you to SACC San Diego and SACC USA for organizing this incredible summit. We are already looking forward to next year! 🇸🇪🇺🇸✨

SACC-NE x SACC-Chicago

This weekend our Business Development Trainee William from the SACC-NE team had the opportunity to visit SACC-Chicago. During his visit, he connected with their team, worked from their office and gained valuable insights into their operations, member network and ongoing initiatives.

The visit provided an excellent opportunity to further strengthen connections within the SACC network, share valuable insights, exchange expirences and the opportunity to explore Chicago.

We are very thankful to the SACC-Chicago team for the warm welcome and look forward to continued cooperation and future visits within the SACC community!

SACC-NE x SACCNY

In October, our Business Development Intern Julia had the opportunity to visit SACC New York, where she spent time connecting with their team and interns, working from their inspiring office, and gaining deeper insights into their member network and current initiatives.

Following the successful MedCelerator, the Acceleration program we co-hosted in September together with SACCNY, it’s been a pleasure to continue building on this strong collaboration between the Chambers.

The visit provided an excellent opportunity to strengthen ties, share ideas and explore new ways to work together going forward.

We're very thankful for the warm welcome and look forward to more visits and continued collaboration within the SACC network!
