The faces behind the emails, calls and events 👋 At SCC UK we’re busy bringing Swedish and British business closer together – one connection, one event, one fika at a time. From the team: have a brilliant weekend!
🧬 That’s a wrap on Life Sciences Forum 2026 – an evening full of forward‑looking ideas, candid debate, and new cross‑border connections.
Tonight we brought together leading voices from across the Sweden–UK life sciences corridor – from policymakers to investors, industry leaders, researchers, and innovators – to unpack the trends redefining the life sciences landscape. From AI‑driven diagnostics and precision medicine to digital health, data, and new investment strategies, the discussion kept circling back to collaboration, patient impact, and innovation.
A huge thank you to all speakers and guests for joining us and contributing to this important conversation. 💙

✅ Day one of our Life Sciences week – ecosystems, insights and new connections
Ecosystem Exchange: Life Sciences 2026 at Freeths in London is officially wrapped. Life Sciences founders and innovators from Sweden spent the day testing UK plans, comparing notes and getting honest input from investors, cluster representatives, NHS leaders and ecosystem partners – all with a clear focus on how to enter, establish and grow in the UK market.
For us, this is what it’s all about: bringing the Swedish–British life sciences community together, sharing practical experience and helping that first conversation turn into future collaboration. 🤝
And we’re not done yet. This was just day one of Life Sciences Week – tonight we continue the conversations at Life Sciences Forum 2026, where we look forward to seeing many of the participants again and keeping the momentum going.🧬

🌍 "Our philosophy reflects the reality that cross-border moves affect an individual's security, family life, and ability to work."
For K2 Group’s Jesper Albrekt, global mobility is never just a file on a desk – it’s a family packing up, a career taking a new turn, someone stepping into the unknown.
💬 In our latest member story, we welcome K2 Group to the membership and follow their journey from a small household goods specialist in 2002 to a global partner walking alongside people through every step of their move – from first work visa to citizenship. At the heart of it all is a simple idea: because it’s personal. This article explores how that ethos shapes the way they support talent, build long-term relationships, and help companies grow across borders.
For Swedish and British businesses, it’s a reminder that when you move people, you’re not just ticking boxes – you’re shaping futures.

🔒 Triple S in Cyber – Security, Sovereignty & Safeguards
At our Tech Forum on 4 June, we move from big promises to the everyday reality of making AI, cyber, and governance work together inside complex organisations. From boardroom priority to everyday practice, this panel digs into what security, sovereignty and safeguards look like in an age of rapid change, scaling AI, and when you still needs to sleep at night.
Joining us to unpack these topical S’s are:
▫️ Elisabeth Braw, Atlantic Council
▫️ Rolf Rosenvinge, Truesec
▫️ Jonathan Kewley, Clifford Chance
Moderated by Matthew Blakemore, AI Caramba!
Tech Forum draws on settings where speed and precision really matter – from Formula 1 to advanced industrial leaders. You’ll hear how the same advances in data, measurement, tools, and components are reshaping factories, supply chains, and services, and what ‘AI, fully embedded and future ready’ can look like in your own organisation.
👉 Join us on 4 June to be part of the Swedish–British conversation on cyber, AI, and competitiveness – and secure your ticket today vi link in bio.

🌍 Some evenings just work. Last year's reception at the Swedish Ambassador's Residence during London Climate Action Week was one of them – and we're bringing it back.
24 June, we return as a recognised part of the LCAW programme, with sustainability leaders, investors, and policymakers gathering for an evening of honest dialogue, fresh perspectives, and Swedish canapés.
The Swedish Ambassador will share brief remarks, alongside contributions from organisations actively directing funding and effort towards meaningful climate solutions. No grand claims – just honest conversation about what's working, what's needed, and where collaboration can make a difference.

Thank you to our Host Partner Embassy of Sweden to the United Kingdom, and our Partner Volvo Construction Equipment for making this evening, once again, a reality.

🇸🇪🇬🇧 Swedish–British creativity, live at ABBA Arena
Over half of Sweden’s creative sector turnover comes from export – from games and fashion to music, TV formats and advertising. Swedish retailers, games, music, and other stories have reached audiences worldwide and driven real business impact. 🌍
On 5 June, during SXSW London, Team Sweden is bringing that creative firepower together with the UK’s own world‑leading scene – and a sector high on the UK government’s growth agenda – at ABBA Arena. We’ll explore unexpected partnerships, where tech meets music, finance meets impact, and Nordic creativity meets the scale of the UK market, before experiencing one of Sweden’s most iconic exports in action at ABBA Voyage. 🎶
The event package includes access to the Forum, exclusive pre‑concert access to Oceanbird Lounge, and a dance floor ticket for the ABBA Voyage concert!

From advanced manufacturing and life sciences to digital, creative and professional services, the discussions showed the opportunity in connecting Swedish innovation with the North West’s industrial heritage and future‑focused industries – scaling solutions that support sustainable growth, jobs and investment across the region.

🏃♀️ Inspired by the London Marathon? Join us for a 5K that’s more about mingling than medals.
On 21 May our Young Professionals can enjoy Miles & Mingles - a 5K run around Regent's Park followed by networking at a nearby pub. And before you start to worry: all paces are welcome.
Here's the setup: a relaxed loop of the park - Nicks has partnered up with us and will kindly fuel everyone with energy bars - followed by drinks and proper conversation with other young professionals. It's movement, fresh air, and the chance to meet people who also voluntarily decided to run 5K on a Thursday evening.
👉 Ready, set, register via the link in our bio!
