On June 6th, Andreas von Uexk�ll, Head of Trade and Economic Affairs from the Embassy of Sweden Washington, D.C, came down to Atlanta to attend the National Day of Sweden celebration in Magnolia Hall, Piedmont Park. 
 

Online newspaper Global Atlanta met with him at the event for an interview about the very relevant topic TTIP.  

 

"The standard refrain is that the Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, known as TTIP, will provide a boost to economies on both sides of the pond by removing tariffs and trade barriers. Estimates have put the impact as high as €119 billion per year for the EU and €95 billion a year for the United States. One study said Georgia could see as many as 25,000 new jobs created after implementation."

Sweden Day is the event in celebration of the National Day of Sweden, on June 6th. This year the event was held in beautiful Magnolia Hall, Piedmont Park. 
For the first time SACC-Georgia, The Consulate of Sweden in Atlanta and cooperating organizations SWEA, Vasa Order Atlanta and SAFG decided to do a joint event and organize the evening together. 
Around 150 guests from the Swedish-Atlanta community attended, and they had the chance to network with the Honorary Consul of Sweden, Mr. Mikael Norin, special guest the Honorable Thomas Siebert, former US ambassador to Sweden, among other invited dignitaries.
Guests enjoyed catered food with a Swedish twist from Bold American, listened to Swedish music performed by YellowBlue trio and Vasa Dr�ngar men's choir, and finally traditionally joined in singing the National anthem of Sweden "Du gamla, Du fria". 

We would like your feedback on the event. It would be highly appreciated if you could take 5 minutes of your time to fill out our survey, so that we can make the event even better next time!
