#129 Building business bridges between Poland and Sweden
In this episode of the "Good Morning BSS World" podcast, I have a pleasure to talk to Fredrik Udd – Managing Partner at Explore Markets and Vice Chairman of the Swedish-Polish Chamber of Commerce – for a deep dive into the evolving business dynamics between Sweden and Poland. Fredrik shares his personal and professional journey that began over two decades ago, when he first landed in a then-evolving Poland. Today, he’s a Warsaw-based entrepreneur and head of Explore Markets, helping Nordic and Central Eastern European companies scale through organic growth and M&A strategies. With a strong connection to both Sweden and Poland, Fredrik is uniquely positioned to provide insight into the bilateral business landscape. From this episode you will gain practical advice on navigating cross-border trade, how to approach Swedish partners, and why the current business climate between the two nations is more promising than ever.
