American and Swedish entrepreneurs are invited to the "Swedish-American Entrepreneurial Days", August 21-23, 2006 in Lidköping Sweden.

The Entrepreneurial Days has become the most important business, trade and networking event between Sweden and the U.S-all categories-in both directions over the Atlantic.

This year's event features industry specific programs on Automotive, Production Technology, Security/Defense, Bioenergy, Logistics & Distribution, Biomaterials & Stem Cells, Incubators, Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and Design for Home, Kitchen and Industry.At the Entrepreneurial Days you will meet with Swedish industry leaders ready to enter and/or expand on the U.S. market. They are looking to find the right U.S. partner to succeed. Computerized, prescheduled, business-to-business meetings are the backbone of the event. This, in combination with structured special interest programs and government-to-government meetings have made the Entrepreneurial Days an unmatched success in Trans-Atlantic trade.

Through Sweden your company will gain easy access to the EU market of 350 million consumers. The main reasons that foreign companies like to use Sweden as a gateway to the EU market are that Sweden has:

• High Labor Productivity
• Competitive Corporate Taxation
• Stable Economic Growth
• Competitive Labor Cost
• High Expenditure on R&D; and
• Attractive Tax Climate For Holding Companies
  

…and Sweden's industry- and government leaders are eager to do more business with the U.S.

We look forward to welcoming you to the 12th Swedish-American Entrepreneurial Days in Lidköping, Sweden.
