Watch the economic outlook seminar from Nordic Compass Summit
This year's economic outlook seminar, held on 5 November, was organised in collaboration with the Nordic Compass Summit, giving the programme a stronger Nordic perspective. In addition to an analysis of the economic situation in the Nordic countries and the Gothenburg region, the audience was offered discussions on Nordic competitiveness, future investments, and the region's role in an increasingly uncertain global environment. The full seminar is now available to watch on demand.
The seminar explores the Nordic region's economic development, competitiveness and future opportunities. Jens Magnusson and Henrik Einarsson present a macroeconomic overview of the Nordic economies and the Gothenburg region, while Cecilia Malmström, Karen Ellemann and Carl Bennet discuss how stronger Nordic cooperation can enhance the region's position in Europe and globally. The discussions focus on growth, innovation, investment and how the Nordic countries can address future global challenges together.
