MEDCELERATOR 2025

Last week, SACC-NE hosted the 2025 edition of the Medcelerator Acceleration Program in partnership with Invest in Skåne and SACCNY (The Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce New York).

Dedicated to helping Swedish Life Science companies scale into the U.S. market, the program brought five innovative MedTech, HealthTech and BioTech companies to Boston and New York for three days of meetings, workshops and networking opportunities.

This year’s cohort included MedBeat, Ironic Biotech, Colzyx, Xaga Surgical and Starfish Of Sweden, who each introduced their groundbreaking ideas to the U.S. life science community.

Starting in Boston, leading organizations and stakeholders from the life science and business community shared insights into the U.S. ecosystem, offering valuable perspectives for the participating companies.

In New York, highlights included individual expert meetings and the Medcelerator Matchmaker Pitch Event at the Swedish Residence, where the cohort presented their solutions to a select audience of investors, scientists, and industry leaders.

A warm thank you to all speakers, partners, and guests who made the program a success!

Introducing William: Our New Member Service & Community Intern!

Who is William?

My name is William Pieder and I’m SACC-NE’s new Member Service & Community trainee for the remainder of 2025 and Spring 2026. I’m 21 years old with an international upbringing and a degree in Business, Ethics and Sustainability from Stockholm University. I’m currently based in Stockholm, but originally from Karlstad. I’m really excited to see what this year has to offer, and looking forward to embracing the New England culture!

Boston seems like a perfect city for me to experience, with interesting businesses in the area and a vibrant feel. There’s a sense of community and togetherness that I appreciate, most notably in all of the great sports teams (Go Celtics!) and I’m sure that this year is going to be a great one!

Introducing Julia Åberg: Our New Event & Marketing Intern!

Who is Julia?

My name is Julia Åberg and I’m the new Event & Marketing trainee at SACC-NE. I am currently studying a Bachelor's program in Business and Economics at the University of Gothenburg. I am 24 years old, originally from Gothenburg and have previously lived in the U.S., which makes me happy to be back. I am excited to spend the fall here in Boston and I look forward to all the new experiences that come with it.'

Boston, with its beautiful coastal location, offers a great mix of culture, innovation and an academic environment with numerous top universities, making it a great place for students. The city has a lot of energy, especially around its sports events, which I love following and being a part of.

I’m eager to take my first steps into the professional world, confident that this internship will help me gain valuable skills and knowledge to support my future career.
