Hosted by Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK and the Embassy of Sweden in London
A curated investor breakfast at the Embassy of Sweden in Marylebone, organised through the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK. A panel discusses why Swedish life sciences companies struggle to raise growth capital and what would unlock it, then companies and investors get time together. Announced speakers include Violeta Hvamb of Innovate UK, with Dace Dimza-Jones of the UK's Global Entrepreneur Programme moderating. You register interest on the Chamber's page rather than booking a place outright.
