In 1906, eleven prominent Swedish businessmen gathered in New York to establish a Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce.

Such an organization was deemed vital for trade and the furthering of economic relationships between the United States and Sweden.

Today, the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce in New York is the largest in the world outside of Sweden and an important meeting place for Swedish-American businesspeople and interests. This only seems natural when you consider that Sweden has the world's oldest trade agreement with the United States, signed in 1783 in Paris by Benjamin Franklin and Count Carl-Gustaf Creutz (later the first Swedish ambassador to the United States). The Chamber remains true to its mission: To promote, advance and protect direct commercial relations between the United States and Sweden.

The Chamber's main resources are its members and its lengthy experience. By leveraging its unique network and a century of Swedish-American business, it is well positioned to help you facilitate any kind of venture.
