To mark the launch, Business Sweden hosted an engaging discussion with leaders from across industries. Some key moments included: - Paulina Brandberg, Minister for Gender Equality and Working Life, reaffirming Sweden’s commitment to equality and inclusion. - Jan Larsson, President and CEO, Business Sweden, sharing how companies can adapt to shifting political landscapes and how Business Sweden supports them globally. - Maha Bouzeid, Nathalie Thiel, and Salah Benkhlafa, presenting the report’s key findings on how Swedish companies implement DEI worldwide. - Panel discussion moderated by Lena Sellgren, Chief Economist at Business Sweden, featuring Katarina Berg, CHRO & General Manager Sweden at Spotify, Sofia Vahlne, Head of Leadership, Culture & People Sustainability at Scania Group, Tove Dahlgren, VP at AllBright, and Christian Biller, Brand Strategist at Svenska institutet, who shared best practices, challenges, and success factors in global DEI implementation.
