Breakfast Roundtable together with Benjamin Dousa🌟
We are proud to have co-hosted an exclusive breakfast roundtable together with the Honorary Consulate of Sweden in Boston and the General Consulate of Sweden in New York, welcoming Swedish companies based in Massachusetts for a unique opportunity to engage directly with Sweden’s Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade, Benjamin Dousa, during his visit to Boston from Sweden October 14.
This intimate event allowed participating companies to briefly present their business operations and take part in an informal and insightful discussion with the Minister.
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.

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.
