Premium services: consulting assignments, training and individual business support are agreed and priced separately. Membership does not include free individual legal advice or other specialist services.
04 / International knowledge exchange
We aim to connect private knowledge businesses and young entrepreneurs in Iran with companies and professionals in Sweden. Areas include IT and AI, healthcare and medicine, engineering and technology.
The format includes a monthly 60-minute online knowledge meeting where one Swedish and one Iranian company each present a topic.
Topic groups with their own chat, mentoring pairs for a few conversations each term and knowledge profiles help participants share expertise and identify learning goals.
Only private companies are eligible, excluding state-owned or state-controlled companies. Ownership is checked before admission. Kandu does not broker goods, technology or payments within the knowledge exchange.
05 / How we work
Business-focused, politically and religiously independent. We treat members equally regardless of background or views.
Clear written agreements with suppliers and partners. Members’ trust takes priority over individual supplier commissions.
Member details are handled in accordance with GDPR and kept no longer than necessary. A company profile is published only after a separate agreement.
Fair competition: the network does not coordinate members’ prices or divide markets.
06 / First-year goals
Our first-year ambition is 100 member businesses, 10 supplier and partner agreements, 6 networking events and 4 courses or workshops.
These are goals, not achieved results. We also track members’ savings, new contacts, completed collaborations and satisfaction.
