Announcing a new scholarship in partnership with Goodwille

4 December 2023

Through a generous donation from SCC member firm and long-standing patron Goodwille, we are pleased to offer the brand-new Annika Åman-Goodwille Scholarship to an ambitious and newly graduated talent from a Swedish University, Högskola, or equivalent. The scholarship gives the successful candidate the opportunity to gain international experience by joining the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK for a full year in London – the world’s leading financial centre and Europe’s business capital. 

Goodwille was established by Annika Åman-Goodwille in 1997 to help Swedish businesses enter and be successful in the UK, through its flexible range of professional business services. Remaining a family-owned business, Goodwille has helped over 2,000 companies primarily from the Nordic region to enter the UK market, including many high-profile Swedish brands such as Lindex, Zettle & Readly.

“Since the very beginning, Goodwille has made it its mission to maintain and foster close connections between the UK and Sweden. In commemoration of Goodwille’s Founder and my mother, as well as the company’s 25-year history, it felt only fitting to sponsor a young talent with international aspirations in making their move in the world through the Scholarship programme at the Chamber,” says Alexander Goodwille, Development Director at Goodwille.

The Annika Åman-Goodwille Scholarship is offered to a young talent showing proof of strong entrepreneurial spirit and who has completed a post-gymnasium qualification or degree in a legal, financial, payroll or HR field from a Swedish University, Högskola or equivalent. The successful candidate is offered a full-year position within one of the Swedish Chamber’s departments: Business Services, Events and Programmes, Marketing and Communications, or Membership and Community.

“The SCC Scholarship Programme dates back to the early 1980's and has seen the launch of many successful alumni careers over the years – all made possible through generous scholarship grants and donations," says Fredrik Warneryd, Chief Executive of the Swedish Chamber of Commerce for the UK. "The new Annika Åman-Goodwille Scholarship secures the continuity of the programme and fortifies the long-standing partnership between Goodwille and the Chamber even further.”

The Annika Åman-Goodwille Scholarship is now open for applications.
