Expanding into international markets is one of the most effective ways for companies to accelerate growth, diversify risk, and strengthen long‑term competitiveness. Yet successful expansion requires strategic preparation, operational readiness, and a solid understanding of regulatory, cultural, and commercial realities.

This webinar offers a practical overview of the essential steps companies should take before entering new markets. Participants will gain insights into legal and compliance requirements, employment and reporting obligations, financial planning, cross‑border tax considerations, and—crucially—the cultural factors that often determine success or failure.

Panel discussion: "Practical Steps for a Successful International Launch"

Host & moderator: Jacek Ziolkowski, Co-CEO, Swedish-Polish Chamber of Commerce

The second edition of our webinar series designed to showcase some of the most innovative and promising startups - and present them directly to investors looking for their next opportunity.

This dynamic format brings together:

✔️ Live startup pitches from early‑stage companies ready to scale
✔️ Real insights from investors on what truly matters in a pitch
✔️ Practical guidance on how founders can stand out in a competitive market

But the real stars of the show will be the startups themselves — ambitious teams presenting bold ideas and seeking the investor support that will take them to the next level.

If you want to discover emerging ventures, understand investor expectations, or stay ahead of the innovation curve, this is the place to be.

▶️ Panel discussion: "What Investors Really Look For: Signals, Red Flags, and Conviction"

▶️ Startup pitches (4 minutes, followed by Q&A): Knowix, maisan

Host & Moderator: Jacek Ziolkowski, Co-CEO, Swedish-Polish Chamber of Commerce

The retail and e‑commerce sectors are undergoing one of the most dramatic transformations in decades. Shifts in consumer behaviour, supply‑chain pressures, new technologies, and the rise of AI‑driven personalisation are reshaping how brands compete for attention, loyalty, and market share. Traditional retailers are reinventing themselves, digital‑first players are scaling aggressively, and entirely new business models are emerging.

During this event we will examine which strategies will separate tomorrow’s winners from the rest.

The logistics and transport sectors are experiencing continuous disruption driven by shifting trade patterns, rising customer expectations, regulatory changes, digitalisation, and the growing pressure to decarbonise. What was once considered exceptional has now become routine: volatility, rapid adaptation, and constant transformation are the new operating environment.

We will discuss the strategies, technologies, and partnerships that enable resilience, efficiency, and competitiveness in a world where stability is by far no longer guaranteed. Participants will gain insights into the factors that will define success in the years ahead.

Technology is advancing at a pace that is redefining how organisations operate, compete, and innovate. From AI‑driven automation and data‑powered decision‑making to next‑generation connectivity, cybersecurity, and digital platforms, the tools available to businesses today are more powerful than ever before. Risks exist, but when applied thoughtfully, technology becomes a strategic enabler - unlocking efficiency, accelerating growth, and opening entirely new opportunities across sectors.

DefenceTech and security capabilities are evolving at unprecedented speed, driven by geopolitical shifts, rapid technological development, and the growing need for resilient, interoperable systems across Europe. For Sweden and Poland - two countries deeply brought together by a strategic partnership agreement - cooperation is no longer optional but essential.

This event explores how DefenceTech innovation, dual‑use technologies, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing are reshaping the strategic landscape.

We will examine how Swedish, Polish, and European actors can accelerate capability development, strengthen supply chains, and build the partnerships required for long‑term resilience.

We are still at an early stage of preparations but we expect to have 7-8 keynote speakers and 3-4 panel discussions with topics such as:

• Security by Design: Technologies Transforming Defence Readiness
• Cybersecurity and Resilience: Protecting Digital Infrastructure
• Dual‑Use Innovation: Transforming the European Ecosystem
• DefenceTech and Cybersecurity: The Power of Cross‑Border Collaboration

We welcome proposals for speakers, panelists (Chamber membership is usually required), and topics that can capture the audience’s interest.

When selecting speakers and panelists, priority is given to our Strategic Partners and Event Partners.

We offer extensive visibility to our Event Partners before, during, and after our events. You can find the details  👉 here.
