The Business Climate Survey
The Business Climate Survey (BCS) has been carried out in Hong Kong since 1997. Since a couple of years, the BCS is conducted in cooperation with Team Sweden (the Consulate General of Sweden, Business Sweden and SwedCham). The purpose of the survey is to increase the understanding of the opportunities and challenges that the Hong Kong market holds for Swedish companies. In addition, it serves as a useful reference in the bilateral trade dialogue between Sweden and Hong Kong.
Stronger Together
Team Sweden work together on many different occasions to enhance the Swedish influence in Hong Kong and to create new business opportunities. SwedCham Hong Kong is also a part of, and has board representation in, the European Chamber of Commerce. SwedCham further participates in InterCham consisting of 30 international Chambers in Hong Kong as well as the International Business Committee (IBC). IBC provides a sounding board and forum to discuss with the Hong Kong Government on matters affecting the business environment.
