🚀 CCSF at VivaTech 2026 🚀

Last week, CCSF had the pleasure of attending Viva Technology 2026 and visiting the Swedish Pavilion.

Once again, VivaTech brought together entrepreneurs, investors, corporates and policymakers from around the world to explore the technologies shaping the future.

The Swedish Pavilion brought together 14 Swedish companies, ranging from innovative startups to established industry leaders such as Ericsson, evroc and Stegra. Together, they showcased the breadth and strength of Sweden's innovation ecosystem across AI, digital infrastructure, sustainability and industrial technology.

It was also a pleasure to see our new member Epidemic Sound, whose interactive booth invited visitors to experience the power of music, technology and creativity firsthand.

The event provided valuable opportunities to strengthen connections between the French and Swedish innovation ecosystems and explore new avenues for collaboration and growth.

🌍 Swedish Chambers International Days in Stockholm ✈️

Last week, we had the pleasure of joining the annual gathering of Swedish Chambers International in Stockholm bringing together representatives from Swedish Chambers around the world alongside the regional Chambers in Sweden. We also had the pleasure of participating in the launch of the Global Business Climate Survey 2026, conducted by Business Sweden, and Swedish Chambers International.

These meetings are always a valuable opportunity to exchange experiences, discuss common challenges, and share ideas on how we can continue supporting Swedish companies internationally.

The discussions also highlighted the strength of our global network:
• 35 Swedish Chambers worldwide
• 5,000+ member companies
• A unique platform connecting Swedish businesses with local markets across the globe

For the CCSF, this international collaboration is an important asset. It allows us to bring valuable insights, connections and opportunities to our members while continuing to strengthen the business relationship between France and Sweden.

A big thank you to Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, and Swedish Chambers International for hosting this year's meetings and for bringing together such a dynamic and engaged business community.

📍 Need a business address in Paris? 📍

Did you know that the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in France offers domiciliation services at its prestigious address in the heart of Paris’ central business district?

In France, every company must have a registered business address. Domiciliation provides a simple and cost-effective solution, whether you are creating a company, changing your registered address, or establishing a secondary presence in the French market.

But a domiciliation at the CCSF is more than just an address. It also means having a trusted partner by your side. Drawing on over a century of experience in French-Swedish business relations, our team helps companies navigate the French market, build valuable connections, and establish a solid foundation for growth.

Further, companies domiciled at the Chamber are offered the possibility to rent conference and meeting rooms, including a large private terrace with panoramic views of Paris, as well as tailor-made business development and administrative support services.

🤝🚀 Choose France 2026: A record-breaking edition 🤝🚀

Yesterday's 9th edition of the Choose France Summit at Versailles once again demonstrated France's attractiveness as a destination for international investment.

• 71 investment announcements
• €93 billion in investments
• More than 15,600 jobs expected

Seven years after the first edition, France continues to strengthen its position as Europe's leading destination for international investment.

Several Swedish companies were invited by President Emmanuel Macron to this year's Choose France Summit.
Three major investment announcements were made by:

🔹 Alfa Laval announced close to €50 million in investments across its French production sites between 2026 and 2028, including the expansion of its facility in Golbey. The project will support growing demand for industrial gases and emerging energy applications while creating around 50 new jobs.
🔹Ingka Group | IKEA confirmed an additional €35 million investment in France by 2030, including the opening of 10 compact-format stores, the creation of 300 jobs and the development of more sustainable deliveries via the Seine.
🔹 Scania France announced nearly €70 million in investments to strengthen its truck assembly plant in Angers. The investment will increase production capacity and position the site as a key hub in the Group's electric truck manufacturing chain.

In connection with Choose France, we had the pleasure of welcoming several Swedish companies who chose to organise meetings and press conferences at the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in France. Among them were our Premium Members Alfa Laval and SKF, highlighting the strong engagement of Swedish industry in France and the importance of French-Swedish business relations.
