Industry Focus
On Monday 23 September we had our Industry Focus event, hosted by Handelsbanken and with President and CEO for Handelsbanken Michael Green as the speaker. With around 40 members from the BSCC community we all learned more about Handelsbanken and the vision Michael Green has going forward. He spoke about the history of Handelsbanken and brought up what he considers to be the key factors in order to succeed with their business goal. The lunch-event ended with a Q & A where the participants were able to ask Michael questions surrounding many relevant issues.
We’d like to extend our warmest gratitude to all the attendees and Handelsbanken for hosting the event.
