Brekfast seminar in Uppsala – Business Opportunities in the US

 

The US remains the largest export market for many Swedish companies. As political developments continue to shape the business landscape, the November midterm elections are expected to influence trade policy, industrial investment, and the broader business environment. How can Swedish businesses navigate these changes and seize opportunities in the US market?

We are pleased to welcome representatives from Business Sweden USA, who will share perspectives on recent developments in US politics and what they could mean for Swedish companies. Drawing on Business Sweden's local presence across the United States and close dialogue with industry leaders, policymakers, and investors, the session will cover key market trends, regional opportunities, and practical considerations for companies looking to enter, expand, or strengthen their position in the US market. 

Particular attention will be given to the implications of the US midterm elections and the evolving policy landscape. Topics will include trade policy, tariffs, industrial policy, and sector developments across areas such as manufacturing, life science, energy, infrastructure, technology, and mining. Participants will also gain insights into how Business Sweden supports companies throughout their US growth journey, from market entry strategy to establishment and expansion.

 This session is relevant for both companies already active in the United States and those evaluating future opportunities in the market.
