Only a narrow stretch of sea separates Sweden from Latvia—a mere sliver of water, just a quick hop by plane. But that strip of the Baltic has, for centuries, held more than just the distance between these two lands. Sweden and Latvia share a past steeped in trade, culture, and a climate that’s as familiar as it is unforgiving. The ties run deep: after hundreds of years of cooperation, the two countries have built enduring bonds—Sweden stands as Latvia’s largest investor, while Latvian businesses and individuals increasingly look across the sea to Sweden for new prospects.

At the heart of this dynamic sits the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Latvia (SCCL), not merely as a network but as a lively, ever-evolving collage—a montage of interests, expertise, and ambition glued together from over thirty industries and nearly a hundred members. Here, diversity finds purpose. Our chamber is a place where insights are exchanged, alliances are created, and ambitions are shared, all in the name of progress for our businesses and societies.

Our activities range widely: from niche, industry-driven discussions to broader gatherings where trust and understanding grow collaboration, fresh ideas, and new ventures. We’re here to help our members find those invaluable connections—the kind of partnerships and friendships that feel like a guiding compass across waters even wider than the Baltic Sea. Through our work, we uphold principles woven deeply into the Swedish identity: democracy, social justice, equality, and stewardship of our planet.
In every initiative, we raise a collective voice for a better business environment in Latvia, building a bridge that’s more than just commerce—it’s a bridge of vision, a shared hope, and a sustainable future that connects our businesses, our people, and our shared aspirations across that small but significant stretch of sea.
