2025 SweCham Business Connect with Jönköping University, University West, and the University of Skövde, 23 January 2025

On the evening of 23 January 2025, SweCham proudly hosted the first Business Connect of 2025 in collaboration with three distinguished Swedish universities: Jönköping University, University West, and the University of Skövde. The event took place in the serene setting of Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok. 

The evening began with a welcome from our Executive Director Mrs Anna Olsson-Moore, followed by presentations from Dr. Roy Andersson and Dr. Kent Salomonsson. They introduced a program enabling Swedish engineering and business students to complete thesis projects or internships in Thailand, offering companies fresh ideas and students valuable international experience.  

 This year’s students have started their internships at Autoliv Thailand, Bederly, Camfil Thailand, and SKF. In their speeches, they shared their skills, aspirations, and enthusiasm for making a meaningful impact at these companies. 

The evening also featured a special presentation on "Energy Saving for Companies" by Pontus Rosengren from Virtual Manufacturing, followed by insights into the "Latest Research in Engineering" shared by Dr. Kent Salomonsson. 

We sincerely thank our event sponsors—Jönköping University, University West, University of Skövde—and our annual partner for supporting Thai-Swedish business connections. Special thanks to our supporting chambers and to Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok for providing an excellent venue and service. Finally, thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the event’s success.
