Official Sweden are inviting you to a visiting programme focusing on the Smart Industry. As a small export-dependent country, globalisation has a decisive influence on the economic development in Sweden. The country’s future is determined by how well its companies succeed in leveraging new opportunities and meeting the global market’s changing needs in a competitive way.
On 26-30 November, the Swedish Institute and Business Sweden Sweden invites you to participate in a visitors’ programme focused on the potential in the industry sector.
We will visit different industrial company sites and meet relevant businesses during the week for inspiration and finding research and development partnerships.
In order to exploit the opportunities that result from globalisation, digitalisation and sustainable development, new demands are placed on competences, related to both technology and leadership. Finding the right expertise is a challenge that no company or industry can solve on its own. In Sweden, many different collaborative initiatives are in place to ensure the industry’s short and long-term skills maintenance. It includes everything from internship programmes that inspire young people to choose a technical career, to developing industry-relevant education courses that match the needs of businesses.
