Whether a company is based in the United States or Sweden, SACC-USA assists with invaluable knowledge of the business culture, market conditions as well as national and regional regulations. We also provide business contacts through a wide variety of networking opportunities. Our mission is to facilitate and support trade, commerce, and investment between the nations and help Swedish companies find the right partners in the USA – and vice versa.

We help Swedish companies find the right partners in the USA – and vice versa. By using a wide network and contact generating tools and methods, we ensure that products, services and information are presented in the right way to the right people.

The SACC-USA Trainee Program provides U.S. companies with highly qualified trainees from Sweden. Consider this a cost-efficient way of accessing Swedish talent and technology while adding some cultural diversity to your office. For the trainees, a training program in the U.S. is the opportunity of a life time. Talk about win-win!
