In November last year, we conducted our Annual Member Survey to better understand which services, activities, and key values offered by the Chamber matter most to our members, as well as how they wish to engage more with the Chamber’s activities.
We are grateful to all our members who dedicated their time to share insights. We have started to connect with those who have expressed interest in engaging more with our community, such as Committee membership, being featured in our communication channels, collaborating in partner events, and as a hosting company – among others.
Thank you for being an essential part of our community and the cornerstone of our progress!
We invite you to read the full report on our website and discover how your feedback is shaping the future of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce. | | | | | | | |
