SWEA Professional Relaunched – A Global Network for Swedish-Speaking Women in the Workforce
SWEA International is relaunching SWEA Professional, a committee focused on empowering Swedish-speaking women in the workforce worldwide. With a renewed vision and an expanded mission, SWEA Professional aims to become a global powerhouse offering career development, mentorship programs, and international networking opportunities for Swedish-speaking professional women who live or have lived abroad.
The relaunch of SWEA Professional addresses the growing need for professional support and collaboration in an increasingly global labor market. SWEA, the largest Swedish women’s network abroad, unites members from various industries and parts of the world, providing a unique network where women can exchange experiences, build relationships, and advance their careers in an international context.
Helena Berggren, Chair of SWEA Professional:
“We are very proud to relaunch SWEA Professional and focus on empowering Swedish-speaking women in their careers. Our vision is to become the organization that offers the greatest value to professional women through global connections, education, problem-solving, and business opportunities.”
Lotta Rigby Fors, President of SWEA International:
“The relaunch of SWEA Professional is a significant milestone for our network. With this initiative, we deepen our commitment to supporting women in their careers while strengthening the community among Swedish-speaking women worldwide. It is a dynamic platform that creates opportunities, fosters collaboration, and drives positive change.”
With a broad knowledge base and a wide range of industries represented within SWEA, the organization offers a unique resource of expertise and experience. By leveraging and sharing this expertise through training, lectures, mentorship programs, events, and other initiatives, opportunities are created for members to grow both professionally and personally. SWEA Professional’s goal is to be a leading force for Swedish-speaking professional women who live or have lived abroad, where members find the network both relevant and inspiring.
