The British-Swedish Chamber of Commerce is delighted to invite Patron Members to the Patrons’ Dinner generously hosted at Täcka udden. 

The Patron membership is an addition to the BSCC membership which provides extra visibility and a network within the network. Exclusive invites to events such as the annual BSCC Patrons’ dinner and Executive Forums are included. All Patrons are invited to have a senior executive representing the company on the Chamber’s Advisory Board. There are two to three Advisory Board Meetings per year and the British Ambassador to Sweden is the Honorary Chair of the Board.

Patron members are also offered the opportunity to nominate a candidate to the Chamber’s Young Patron Programme. The aim of the Programme is to attract younger members from the 50+ Patron member companies with an interest in trade and business links between Sweden and the UK. The participants gain insight into the Anglo-Swedish business community.

During the spring we have invited Patrons and Young Patrons to 5 events. Find a few photo highlights below.

On 12 June, The BSCC and AmCham Sweden welcomed members to an Extended Executive Forum with guests of honour H.E. Ms. Judith Gough, UK Ambassador to Sweden and H.E. Erik D. Ramanathan, U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Sweden.

The Forum addressed the importance of fostering robust international partnerships, with a particular focus on bilateral relations and business landscapes.

The Board meeting was in connection with the 70th Annual General Meeting, at which Mr. Micael Johansson, President and CEO of Saab, and H.E.
