Talent – Sweden’s Next Great Competitive Advantage?
6 November 08:30-11:00
How do we identify the top-tier talent of the future without overlooking those whose potential is not yet visible?
From Nobel laureates and elite athletes to performing artists and future leaders—join us for a morning at the Göteborg Opera. Representatives from culture, sports, academia and business will come together to explore how we identify role models, foster both excellence and breadth, and secure the expertise Sweden needs for the future. In collaboration with Business Region Göteborg, Göteborg & Co, Kulturakademin, and Talent Norge.
