The spring and summer issue of focus, the magazine of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Estonia, will soon appear in your postbox.

From the content:

- One of the highlights of the recent State Visit was the Estonia-Sweden Business Forum which was attended by approximately 150 Estonian and Swedish prominent guests including the speakers and panellists lead by King Carl XVI Gustaf and President Alar Karis who delivered the opening addresses along with Ministers from both countries, writes SCCE’s Chairman Janar Sutt.

- In our company vocabulary the word problems doesn’t exist. But the word challenges do indeed exist. And I am the first to admit that finding skilled labor, for example welders, is a real challenge, says Ulrica Fors, CEO at Fors MW.

- The last months have brought with them a long-awaited change: the previous crazy price growth is slowing down, says Mihkel Nestor, Economic Analyst at SEB Estonia, as he comments on the bank’s May 2023 Nordic Outlook.

- As Sweden celebrates its National Day on 6 June, this festive day also marks the start of a Year of Swedish Jubilees and focus reports on five of them including two Royal Jubilees, one 500 years old and the second 50 years old.

- Editorial, Healthcare, the recent State Visit, AQ Lasertool and AQ Components Kodara,

Newsflashes and the ps. Column.

I hope you enjoy reading the spring and summer issue of focus, and as usual, this and previous issues of focus are also available OnLine at: www.swedishchamber.ee/focus

Kristiina Brodén - SCCE Ombudsman
