First Business Roundtable with the Government of Sweden
March 5: Securing Sweden’s long-term competitiveness

First Business Roundtable with the Government of Sweden

Does Sweden need radical reform to ensure its competitiveness in the global economy? Can the government work with the country’s business leaders to deliver socio-economic success? What would you like to ask the Prime Minister and his ministers?
