USA och Kina drar ifrån – vad ska Europa göra?
On Thursday 25 June, we will take part in Skånes Innovationsarena in a large tent at Hamnplan, in a unique collaboration with AMYNA, Biotech Heights, Ideon Science Park, Lunds kommun, Malmö University, Medeon Science Park, Medicon Village, Region Skåne and Science Village Scandinavia.
At 11.55-12.45, there will be a seminar in Swedish on ”USA och Kina drar ifrån – vad ska Europa göra?”, hosted by Medicon Village. Please note that the program and its speakers/panelists might be updated before it takes place – updated program in the official program for Almedalsveckan.
Seminar focus
Sweden ranks among the most innovative countries in the EU, while Europe as a whole continues to lag behind the United States and China. Over the coming years, Europe must step up in the competition for talent, company establishment, and investment.
This seminar will discuss how we can unlock the power of regional ecosystems and the role cross-border regions such as the Øresund Region can play from both a Swedish and European perspective. Topics include how to create strong industrial and economic clusters capable of meeting competition from the US and China, as well as the reforms required to strengthen Sweden’s position in an increasingly turbulent global environment.

- Malene Fischer, Research Director, Rigshospitalet
- Mats Persson, Member of the Swedish Parliament, Liberalerna (L)
- Pia Kinhult, Head of Host States Relations and coordinator High Level Industrial Forum European Spallation Source ERIC, ESS
