UNLEASHING NORDIC COMPETITIVENESS

A decade ago, the Hanaholmen Future Forum delved into the theme of competitiveness through how Sweden and Finland can face the future together. Ahead of the European Union Parliament elections in June 2024, we will once more focus on competitiveness and productivity as the main theme. How well does the EU’s internal market work? How does US industrial policy affect our companies’ ability to operate in the country? What measures are needed to improve Nordic and European competitiveness and productivity? It’s time to redefine the path to prosperity in the Nordic region.
