Purpose The general purpose of the Chamber is to promote and contribute to the development of trade and business relations and business related initiatives and activities between the Republic of Hungary and Sweden and to support the business interests of its members. (Articles of Association of the SCCH, Article 3.1) As Tibor Kertész, former Chairman and first President of the SCCH formulated it: "Our task is to support mutual co-operation and friendship between Hungary and Sweden, to encourage trade investments and economic developments and to help our members monitor, understand and influence events within the Hungarian business community as the new economy takes shape in the country."
What does the Chamber offer you? It collectively acts in the name of the members in relation with Hungarian authorities in order to promote and assist Swedish business interests. It provides relevant information to its members through specific studies and through regular newsletters. It initiates, organizes and co-ordinates programs and business events with invited guest speakers. It co-operates with other Chambers of Commerce in areas of common interest. (In 1999 the Chamber became a member of "The Permanent Commission of EU-Chambers in Hungary".) It is a forum for the establishment and development of professional and social contacts between its members, both companies and individuals.
