SACC Minnesota and the American Swedish Institute (ASI) share a bold vision: to connect Sweden’s deep cultural heritage with the high-tech innovation and entrepreneurial energy shaping the future of the Upper Midwest. Together, we build bridges—between culture and commerce, tradition and technology, Sweden and Minnesota.

Our partnership is designed to foster connections between cultural heritage, modern high-tech innovation and entrepreneurship by supporting joint events, initiatives and exchanges that promote shared cultural and commercial goals. With SACC MN focusing on developing business opportunities by pairing Swedish Innovation with the US market and capital for business growth, versus ASI fostering the cultural connection between Sweden and Minnesota by preserving and sharing Swedish history and heritage.

Through coordinated initiatives, shared platforms, and joint events, we amplify each other’s strengths and create meaningful impact for both cultural and business communities.
