What is E-Days?
The Swedish-American Entrepreneurial Days – Where Sweden and the U.S. meet for business!
The Swedish–American Entrepreneurial Days has become the most important trade and networking event, providing an effective platform for trade and commerce between the U.S. and Sweden. For the past twleveeleven years, the Entrepreneurial Days has enabled small, medium, and large companies to connect and develop new business.
The Swedish-American Entrepreneurial Days is a key trade and networking event between USA and Sweden that has been held annually at various locations in Sweden and the U.S. since 1997. It takes place twice a year; once in the U.S. and once in Sweden to best connect business relations the two countries.
The 2008’s Entrepreneurial Days in San Diego, April 7-9 attracted 400 participants, and over 500 business matchmaking meetings were pre-scheduled. At the Edays in Stockholm, 15-16 September, 2008, over 430 participants in total attended with more than 130 people traveling from the U.S. representing 20 different U.S. states and we had more than 800 pre-scheduled business matchmaking meetings. In Savannah, April 17-19, 2009, more than 350 participants came, both from U.S. and Sweden, and over 600 matchmaking meetings took place.
The tools that are used to encourage business and trade between the two countries are among others; custom tailored business to business cluster programs, business to business trade missions, and business matchmaking.
For the past twelve years the Entrepreneurial Days has not only grown larger, but has also become global in scope with American business leaders networking with their Swedish counterparts. What makes this business-to-business event so worthwhile and successful is that it brings together entrepreneurs and experts from a variety of fields – all sharing their expertise and knowledge of American and EU markets.
In 2010, the Business Focus E-Days Special Edition will take place in Seattle during Sweden Week May 3-8, and in Gothenburg, Sweden in November.
