On 9 April, the BSCC, together with Business Region Gothenburg, InPress, Invest in Skåne, and Stockholm Business Region, welcomed members and partners to the first seminar in our series of events addressing the complexities of the world ahead. Together with Niklas Persson, Executive Vice President and Managing Director for BU Grid Integration at Hitachi Energy, Alasdair Ross, Countries Editor at The Economist, and Pia Sandvik, CEO at Teknikföretagen, we discussed the rising focus on protectionism, explored the role of free markets in driving innovation and addressed the urgent need for change.

We would like to express our gratitude to all the speakers and panellists for sharing their expertise and insights on these issues. We would also like to thank all our attendees for contributing to engaging discussions and for a lovely evening.
