Today, we are proud to announce that two great stakeholders in Swedish export and innovation, EKN and Vinnova, have partnered with Götheborg to promote Swedish export. They will use the ship as a platform to promote both trade and a message of sustainable innovations, and we look forward to providing a platform where their relevant markets are.
The Swedish Export and Credit Agency (EKN), is commissioned by the Swedish government to promote Swedish business abroad, by insuring export companies and banks against the risk of non-payment in export transactions. This Asia Expedition 2022/2023 will create unique meeting places across the world for Swedish businesses, and EKN is partnering to offer attractive financing solutions and promoting Swedish exports.
Vinnova will focus on promoting Swedish innovation in Asia and India foremost, primarily driving the message of sustainable solutions to create a better future. As Sweden’s innovation agency, Vinnova works to enhance their collaboration with India and the blossoming innovative market there.
During the 2022 part of the Asia Expedition, EKN will focus on the stopover in London. Vinnova will join as partner to an event hosted by Götheborg of Sweden and Dagens Industri, to be held on the departure day from Gothenburg, 8 June 2022. The event will focus on new business opportunities for Swedish companies, and how innovation and sustainability are key to the growth of Swedish companies in international markets.
We're really pleased to have these two great stakeholders on board to Asia. Welcome!
Greencarrier and the City of Gothenburg have agreed on their ambition to create a long-term home for the East Indiaman at Masthuggskajen. The goal is for the ship to play a central role in a new historical experience center, planned for completion in 2031, and to help create a more vibrant waterfront promenade near Järntorget.
During the evening we will be joined by Mats Berggren, who during the construction period represented the Swedish Maritime Administration as a determined and persistent inspector, and Marie-Louise Edholm, who took part in building the rigging, has sailed with the ship, and has been responsible for the maintenance of the rig. You will gain insight into traditional craftsmanship, material choices, and the many challenges involved in combining historical authenticity with modern safety and operational requirements. If you were involved during this period, perhaps you have a story of your own to share. We would love to hear it! About halfway through the lecture, coffee and pastries will be available for purchase. All proceeds will go directly toward the re-rigging of the ship. Registration is free of charge. Please register by emailing: vanner@gotheborg.se A warm welcome! The Friends of East Indiaman Götheborg Association
Following growing interest in the future of the East Indiaman Götheborg, Greencarrier now presents detailed plans for a new permanent quay location and an adjacent experience center at Masthuggskajen in Gothenburg. The ambition is to create a new destination in the city ahead of the 300th anniversary of the Swedish East India Company in 2031. The first vision images are now being presented.
