This week we had the pleasure to once again collaborate with KTH Innovation when their team members Viktor Olsson and Siimon Vaske visited Boston for a few days with the goal of learning from established actors in the ecosystem about their startup support, as well as exploring opportunities for collaboration.

Last week, we hosted an event called “Women in Leadership”. Thank you everyone for attending!

We also want to thank our phenomenal panelists Lovisa Afzelius, Uzochi Erlingsson, Sofia Braag-Ankeny and Chista Bleyleben, as well as moderator Brooke Duffy for the interesting and insightful discussion.

Last Thursday we hosted our first in-person event of the year! We celebrated being able to finally meet in person while networking with the Swedish-American business community and nibbling on appetizers from Shy Bird.

Being an intern at SACC-NE is a unique opportunity to gain valuable ‘real world’ experience and business-related skills as well as develop a professional international network in a region with some of the world’s most prominent life science, technology, and clean-tech industry clusters. It is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to gain a competitive edge — in Sweden and internationally. We asked Thea Wadell, Event & Marketing Intern at SACC-NE in the fall of 2021, why you should apply for an internship at SACC-NE.
