Last year, Sweden continued to be Estonia's biggest export market as well as the biggest foreign direct investor in Estonia. SCCE is a mirror of the intensity in Swedish-Estonian commerce, trade and investments, and we will continue with our extensive networking activity program including international business seminars, conferences, study visits, as well as our traditional annual parties with a touch of Sweden. During the new year, we also aim to introduce some new formats and ways to welcome even more members, contacts and partners.

SCCE is a long time member of the SCI - Swedish Chambers International.

This international network of Swedish Chambers of Commerce abroad has grown considerably and has now 38 Swedish Chambers of Commerce as members in key locations all over the world. SCI's Swedish partner is the SCC - Stockholm Chamber of Commerce with more than 2.000 member companies.

I'm happy to announce that since January 1st this year SCCE is also a member of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. Combined with our membership in Swedish Chambers International, this will significantly enlarge our network and have a positive impact for further development of not only Estonian-Swedish but also international business contacts and networking possibilities. I will be back with more information on the opportunities our SCI and SCC memberships offer, both in the weekly SCCE Newsletter as well as in our focus magazine.

We wish all our members and partners another very good year together and look forward to see all of you at our this year's kick-off event with a touch of the Caribbean and Cuba on:

Thursday, January 15th, 2015 at 17.30 - 20.30
Seasons Restaurant at Radisson Blu Sky Hotel, Rävala 3, Tallinn

On behalf of the SCCE Supervisory Board,
