About the Swedish-Canadian Chamber of Commerce:

For over 50 years, the Swedish-Canadian Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), has been promoting the development of Swedish-Canadian commerce by facilitating company visits, business references and referrals, information exchange, topical seminars and regular networking events that provide an opportunity to learn, and equally important to meet and share experience with people with similar interests.

About the Fast Track project:

Canada adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to help address some of the most pressing issues facing the world. One of the key objectives of Canada’s approach include Partnerships between public, private and government stakeholders to ensure that feedback is provided to continue to develop Canada’s national strategy.

Together with the impact startup Grow the Good, we have started Fast Track to accelerate positive change. We have identified both general and specific opportunities for Swedish CleanTech companies in Canada. At this stage, we are looking for Swedish companies that could benefit from these opportunities.
