The Swedish American Chamber of Commerce Carolinas (SACC Carolinas) is excited to invite you to our next event together with the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Southern U.S. (GACC South), and the Netherlands American Chamber of Commerce of the South East (NACCSE).

On Wednesday, October 14, 2026, join us for an evening of insights, exchange, and networking in Charlotte, NC, in partnership with YER.

Hosted at the RÖDL Office in Charlotte, Nordic–German Strategies for U.S. Business Growth will bring together members of the German, Swedish, Dutch, and broader international business communities to explore what it takes to successfully enter, grow, and operate in the U.S. market.

Our moderated panel discussion will feature business leaders sharing firsthand experiences with internationalization, U.S. market entry, and expansion. The conversation will be followed by a networking reception, providing plenty of opportunity to continue the discussion and build new connections.
