ABOUT SACC
HISTORY
The first Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce was founded in New York in 1906 . Today , the SACC network consists of 18 regional chambers across the United States . We serve more than 2,300 members in Sweden and the U . S ., which makes us the second largest European Chamber of Commerce in the United States .
SACC-PHILADELPHIA
SACC-Philadelphia was founded by Erwin Apell and Leif Biederman in 1999 , and the mission of the Chamber is to encourage and promote the exchange of technology , trade and culture between Sweden and the Greater Philadelphia Region , while providing members with a spectrum of services and social events .
The chamber continuously works to strengthen the bond between Sweden and the Greater Philadelphia Region . We have organized and participated in several trade missions , assisting Swedish companies in opening head offices and expanding their presence in the US . To support its members , the SACC- Philadelphia office assists with everything from helping newcomers in the Philadelphia Region setting up office or establishing contacts with local companies , to performing market analyses and marketing campaigns . The same is done for companies looking to establish themselves in Sweden .
As a non-profit , SACC-Philadelphia is highly dependent on member fees . We therefore would like to thank all our members for making our work possible .
