From 25 May to 8 June 2019, the Swedish Embassy will tour the United Kingdom. From Brighton to Edinburgh, we will travel through England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland to meet people, businesses and institutions who together make up the strong relationship between our two countries.
Sweden comes to Manchester on the 4th June!
The Swedish Ambassador, Torbjörn Sohlström and the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham will cohost a business seminar on market growth potential and business opportunities in Greater Manchester.
The meeting will take place at Greater Manchester Combined Authority. The Greater Manchester Local Industrial Strategy will be presented, including the priority areas of health innovation, digital, creative and media, advanced material and manufacturing and clean growth.
The Ambassador will be accompanied by a delegation of Swedish corporates and start-ups who will share their success story in the UK as well as expansion plans, and further discuss with the Mayor the potential challenges in the UK market and policy prerequisites for business growth support.
