The Sweden-U.S. Entrepreneurial Forum 2011

In collaboration with ESBRI, AmCham's members are invited to "The Sweden-U.S. Entrepreneurial Forum 2011". The overall theme is Innovation.

This is the 8th annual forum and a unique opportunity to learn and discuss with experts from the U.S. and Sweden. The Sweden-U.S. Entrepreneurial Forum is free of cost to all participants, but please note that the number of seats is limited.

The entrepreneurial climate in Sweden differs a lot from that in the U.S. but there are also similarities. One important issue is access to capital, both institutional and informal. What can we learn from each other?

The conference will take place on September 26-27 at City Conference Centre, Drottninggatan 71 b, Stockholm.
