SAS and 5 Nordic chambers (DCCJ, FCCJ, ISCCJ, NCCJ, SCCJ) co-organized the breakfast meeting to discuss "sustainable travel and tourism" at Embassy of Sweden, November 27.
After having breakfast, the guest speaker Markus Ek, Vice President, Global Sales at SAS talked about their perspective on how to achieve sustainable travel as well as their special projects for Tokyo 2020.
The participants at this event were quite interested in hearing more about their strategy and asked a lot of questions during and after the presentation.

Dear Member of SCCJ,
As you may be aware, SCCJ has during a number of years been considering withdrawing from EBC (European Business Council in Japan) with the main reason being that we have considered the EBC fees being too high – actually being one of the single-biggest expense items for the Chamber with around 7% of the yearly budget. We have not managed to come to a compromise on the fee levels and have therefore decided to withdraw. The decision was made with unanimous approval by all Directors of SCCJ.
The Governments of Sweden and Japan has today signed a Working Holiday Agreement.
The Agreement strengthen long-term bilateral relations between the countries and provides opportunities for young people between the age of 18 and 30 to experience the culture and general way of life in Sweden and Japan.
The 5 Nordic chambers (DCCJ, FCCJ, ISCCJ, NCCJ, and SCCJ) co-organized Scandinavian Craft Beer Evening at Coaster, Craft Beer and Kitchen (Shimokitazawa) on Thursday, August 1st.
The seats were limited to 100, which sold out surprisingly quickly. SCCJ had a great turnout with over 70 guests joining the event.
After a successful launch of the first mentoring program as part of WIN we are open for new mentors and mentees to join starting in October 2019. This program is for SCCJ members only and it is free to join.
