The Swedish American Chamber of Commerce of New England Inc (SACC-NE) is a nonprofit organization established in 1998 focused on promoting and enhancing trade, commerce, and business relations between Sweden and the New England region of the United States. It operates as a business league and chamber of commerce, designated under IRS code 501(c)(6), aiming to improve business conditions in its community[3].

Based in Boston, Massachusetts, SACC-NE serves as the leading Swedish-American business network in New England, with a membership exceeding 800 businesses, professionals, and students[1][5]. The organization leverages Boston's strategic position as a major hub for entrepreneurship, innovation, and higher education, closely connected with prestigious academic institutions such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)[5].

The core mission of SACC-NE is to accelerate trade, commerce, and investment between Sweden and New England while actively promoting entrepreneurship, innovation, academia, and business opportunities across a broad spectrum of industries. This includes facilitating tailored business meetings, organizing speaker events and networking opportunities, supporting transatlantic internships, and hosting delegations to foster collaboration and economic growth[1][5].

SACC-NE offers a variety of events and initiatives for its members, including webinar series such as "Ask Our Experts," after-work gatherings, and the annual European-American Business Mingle, designed to cultivate connections and share expertise within the Swedish-American business community[1]. Additionally, the chamber produces a podcast series, SACC-NE Sessions, highlighting stories and developments within its network[1].

Membership in SACC-NE provides access to a broad and active community engaged in Swedish-American commercial and cultural exchange, offering support for professional development and business expansion[1][5].

Though classified as a nonprofit, donations to the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce of New England are not tax-deductible, consistent with its 501(c)(6) status as a business league organization.
