Dear Members, Partners, and Friends of SwedCham,

Warm greetings from the SwedCham Team!

As we wrap up 2024, I would like to take a moment to reflect on what has been an absolutely remarkable year for SwedCham here in Taipei. Together, we’ve achieved so much – from hosting vibrant events and creating invaluable connections, to celebrating Swedish innovation and strengthening our Sweden-Taiwan business community.

Your unwavering support has fuelled our success, and I cannot thank you enough for your trust, collaboration, and enthusiasm. Highlights such as our first-ever B2B Earth Day event promoting sustainable practices, to our biggest Crayfish Party yet, were all made possible because of your participation and energy!

We are incredibly excited about what 2025 has in store. We’ve got a dynamic lineup of events, initiatives, and opportunities that will allow us to deepen the bonds within our community, promote the Sweden branding and reach new heights. Get ready for the much-anticipated return of Sweden Day in 2025 and save the date for the SwedCham Connect afterwork on 19 February. Let’s continue to grow, innovate, and make a lasting impact, together!

On behalf of the SwedCham Team, I wish you all a joyful holiday season and a prosperous New Year. Here’s to even greater success and collaboration in 2025!

With warm regards,

Poj

We would like to express our warm thanks to the children of the Swedish School for filling our Lucia celebration with beautiful songs, and to everyone who helped make the event truly special! 🕯️🎄

A special thanks to Robin Johansson, Johan Skarendal, and Ageneta Olofsson from the Swedish School, as well as Helena Reitberger, the Swedish Representative, for your invaluable support. We are also very thankful to Olof and Marie Olsson from the Swedish Church in Bangkok for hosting a meaningful and traditional church service.

As a delightful surprise, Santa Claus even stopped by, and the celebration ended in the most Swedish way—with a cozy fika! 🎅🏼☕
