Thank you for attending Executive Forum 2023!
May 3-4, 2023 House of Sweden

The Swedish-American Chambers of Commerce of the United States of America (SACC-USA) present to you our flagship event, the Executive Forum, held annually in House of Sweden, Washington, D.C. The event is held in collaboration with the Embassy of Sweden.

The 2023 Executive Forum will showcase the innovative companies showing the way towards net zero across a diverse set of industries. These thoughtleaders have made a commitment to not only benefit their bottom line, but also to positively impact society as a whole. As a premier business development platform, the Executive Forum will also explore how to leverage the Swedish Brand against the backdrop of an increasingly fragmented and uncertain geopolitical and economic outlook.
