About Us

The Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Hungary was established in Budapest on October 27, 1995. The initiative was launched by several Swedish companies operating in Hungary, together with the Swedish Trade Council and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, in response to the growing economic and commercial ties between Sweden and Hungary.

Today, the Swedish business community in Hungary is a strong and diverse network of 170+ companies employing nearly 20,000 people. Sweden remains among the leading foreign investors in Hungary and is widely recognized as a global leader in innovation and sustainability. One of the Chamber’s key strengths is the breadth of industries and business models represented within our membership, ranging from Business-to-Business (B2B) to Business-to-Consumer (B2C) companies. This diversity of industries, expertise, and experience enriches our network and creates valuable opportunities for collaboration and innovation.

We represent the interests of Swedish companies in Hungary and ensure that the value of Swedish business, investment, and expertise is well recognized. The Chamber strengthens business relations between Sweden and Hungary, promotes investment and business development, and creates opportunities for its members to connect, learn, and grow. We provide a professional platform for networking and the exchange of knowledge and best practices among members and stakeholders. While the Chamber’s core mission has remained unchanged since its establishment, our activities continue to evolve in response to the business environment, our members’ needs, and emerging trends.

We work closely with the Embassy of Sweden, Business Sweden, the wider Nordic business community, government institutions, universities, NGOs, SMEs, and other key stakeholders to support our members and advance shared priorities. We also promote the values that define Swedish business, including innovation, sustainability, equality, and responsible leadership.

As a member of Swedish Chambers International—the global network of Swedish Chambers of Commerce abroad—and the Permanent Commission of EU Chambers in Hungary, we collaborate with chamber partners in Hungary and around the world to strengthen the voice and impact of our business community.

Through Team Sweden, we help bring together business, government, and academia to foster knowledge exchange, strengthen Sweden’s presence in Hungary, and create new opportunities for our members.
