Danske Bank is a new sponsor of the Swedish Chess Federation. A sponsorship agreement has been signed between the parties and Danske Bank’s first effort for Swedish chess will be to support the Swedish national team during the Chess Olympiad in Budapest. The squad includes teams in both the women’s class and the open class.
Danske Bank is optimistic and wholeheartedly supports the Swedish national chess team. We hope that our cooperation can contribute to the team reaching new heights and achieving success in the 2024 Chess Olympics, says Oskar Lindberg, who is responsible for Corporate Loans for Danske Bank in Sweden.
Oskar Lindberg sees many points of contact between chess and the work Danske Bank strives for in its industry.
Chess and Danske Bank share a passion for strategy, innovation and developing talent. Just like in chess, where every move requires careful planning and foresight, Danske Bank strives to strategically navigate the financial world to create the best possible value for our customers and society, he says.
The Swedish Chess Federation is enthusiastic to have Danske Bank as a sponsor.
It feels fantastic that Danske Bank wants to sponsor us. Danske Bank is a strong and well-known brand, and the company works a lot with strategies and development to achieve success. Exactly what chess players also do, says the chairman of the Swedish Chess Association, Hรฅkan Jalling.
