AGMs 2025

Every year, prior to the SPCC Annual General Meeting, the general assemblies of all four national sections take place. This week, the Finnish and Danish sections elected their boards as well as candidates for the SPCC Board.
We warmly thank Ambassador Päivi Laine for her hospitality and for hosting the Finnish section’s general assembly at her residence. After the formal part, FTG members had the unique opportunity to hear valuable insights from Ignacy Morawski of “Puls Biznesu.”
Special thanks go to the outgoing chairs — Leif Christiansen and Esko Kilpinen — as well as the outgoing board members: Wanda Brociek, Tomasz Konarski, and Andrzej Pijanowski — for their dedication and contributions to SPCC’s activities.
We sincerely thank His Excellency Andreas von Beckerath, Ambassador of Sweden, and the Embassy of Sweden in Poland for delivering the opening speech. Following the formal session, participants and the newly elected board continued the meeting during the evening networking event. The Commission representatives present were Erik Emilsson – Election Committee, Nikki Brandt – Business Sweden, Alina Mattisson Lax – Embassy of Sweden in Poland, and Daniel Larsson – Election Committee.
We also express our gratitude to His Excellency Øystein Bø for delivering the opening speech and supporting the Norwegian section’s activities. During the general meeting, a new board was elected to represent the section in the coming months. We thank the outgoing Chair Carsten Nilsen and board member Leif Skipenes for their engagement and contributions.
