The SCCC had its first board meeting last Thursday and is now planning the activities for 2012.  Thus, we would very much like to have your input regarding what seminars, business-matchmaking events and/or activities would you like us to promote for you in the upcoming months. 

How does it work? Once we receive your input, we will arrange a meeting either in your office or at the embassy premises where you present your ides. Then, we find discuss the best approach to execute and if there is a need to involve Swedish agencies or banks in the project.  If feasible, we find a date and appropiate time to do it.  Notice that all projects will be taken on a “first-come, first-served basis”. 

Aso, we would like to remind you that the next After Work on February 16th and this time it will take place at the Colombian Embassy as the aim is to have a brainstorming AW.  Feel free to bring a colleague or companion.

We look forward to hearing from you.
