NorthNode Networking – Hockey & Business Beyond Borders
An exclusive networking event for Finnish & Swedish companies, bringing together SISU, cross-border business opportunities, and hockey in true Norrbotten spirit.
Norrbotten Chamber of Commerce, together with our member companies Aspia, Skeppsbron Skatt and Advokatbyrån Kaiding, welcomes you to an evening dedicated to strengthening business relationships and exploring business opportunities between Finland and Northern Sweden.
With billions of euros being invested in northern Sweden, Norrbotten has become one of Europe’s most exciting growth regions. For Finnish companies, the proximity, cultural similarities, and strong business ties create excellent opportunities for expansion and collaboration. During the evening, experts from some of the region’s leading advisory firms will provide practical guidance on taxation, accounting, and legal considerations for doing business in Sweden.
Following the business session, we continue the evening in true Nordic spirit by gathering around one of the strongest traditions shared by Finland, Sweden, and Norrbotten – hockey. Together, we will watch Luleå Hockey take on Brynäs while enjoying food, drinks, and informal networking.
Whether your company is already active in Northern Sweden or looking for new opportunities across the border, this is an excellent occasion to build relationships, exchange experiences and strengthen your cross-border network.
We look forward to welcoming you to an evening of new business opportunities, valuable connections, and great hockey – some of the strongest cross-border partnerships are built long before the final whistle.
