About the seminar series

This is the sixteenth webinar in the series of webinars that we are arranging within the framework of the government mission Work in Sweden. The first part of the webinar, with the above presentations, will be recorded and can be viewed afterwards. At the end of the broadcast, the recording will be closed and there will be an opportunity to ask questions.

In 2026, at approximately monthly intervals, the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Development will continue broadcasting on current issues and themes connected to our work with the Work in Sweden mission in collaboration with the authorities that are part of the mission.

About the Work in Sweden mission

Work in Sweden is a government assignment where several agencies work together to strengthen coordination linked to Sweden's opportunities to attract and retain highly qualified international expertise and other foreign labor that is important for Sweden's competitiveness.

Sometimes we photograph or video record our activities. If you don't want to participate in photos or videos, please let us know when you arrive.
