On 29 September 2020 the SACC and ABCS (Australian Business Council of Sweden) joined forces and delivered the first ever joint webinar with special guests HE Bernard Philip, Australian Ambassador to Sweden and HE Henrik Cederin, Swedish Ambassador to Australia.
They were joined by Martin Ekberg, Trade & Invest Commissioner and Country Manager to Australia, New Zealand & the Pacific Islands and Jennifer Mackinlay, Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner for UK, Ireland & Nordics, in the discussion about business and investment trends between the two countries.

In the proceeding webinar, attendees learnt about the size, scope and focus of international business and investments changes in a post-COVID world and what the implications will be for Swedish/Australian businesses.
