Dear Subscriber,
We hope you are enjoying the warm Taiwanese spring sun and are looking forward to some of what SCCT have planned during spring.
As usual we offer our members a mix of business and pleasure and you don't have to choose between CEO talks, golf tournaments, Swedish spirit tasting sessions or networking parties - you can attend them all so make sure you look at the list of events below, and do make sure to sign up while tickets last!
Make sure to also check out our most recent five corporate member additions, there're some very interesting possibilities for business collaborations there and we will get back to with dedicated F2F meetings.
All in all we are now 38 corporate companies strong and with 6 individual members and 25+ Young Professional members we are making a positive impact in Taiwan and hope to work closely with you to bring more good things to Taiwan during 2023.
Without further ado, let's get to it!

| This years Business Climate Survey is conducted in preparation of the annual Joint Business Council (JBC) meeting between Taiwanese and Swedish officials set to take place in the fall. Each company representative will soon receive an email with an invitation to participate.
The questions concern the situation of your company on the Taiwanese market. As always, the survey aims to be of benefit to you as well as our other member companies. Collecting your opinion enables us to continue working for a better business environment for Sweden-related companies in Taiwan.
The survey aims to capture our combined economic footprint, so as to demonstrate the impact in Taiwan of Swedish business. We expect the results to be useful in further enhancing our common public image and in giving us as a group a certain clout. A summary of the results will be submitted to all participating companies. |

Welcome Dinner for Swedish students and YP |
| Last week we arranged a Welcome Dinner to help new Swedish students in Taiwan, seasoned students and our Young Professional community build their professional network.
SCCT cooperates closely with several Swedish universities. Chalmers University of Technology even has their own Chalmers International Office Taiwan at NYCU, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Hsinchu, staffed by students and led by Mr. Renato Peter Roos Radevski whom many of you have met at our events. |

| We are pleased to see that so many of our Young Professionals join the member company study visits. Some time ago we visited Atlas Copco and up next is IKEA, followed by Scania and SHL Medical! |
|
|
|
|
In 1873, Atlas Copco was a small local start-up producing railroad equipment. Now, they are a global company serving customers in many different industries, enabling everything from food production to space travel.
Did you know that they named the company after the titan Atlas in Greek mythology who carries the skies on his shoulders?
Thank you Dereck Devlin, Emma Chang, Dmitry Sotnikov and team for including us in your fabulous day of celebration! |

While we were there we of course took the opportunity to explore sustainable cooperation .Jerry and Jacob were introduced to each other and 5 minutes later they shook hands and now have a collaboration going, this is partially why SCCT exists! |
