Important results from the project
The conference gathered participants from academia, business, public sector and politics and raised strategically important issues linked to industrial and societal transformation ; Large-scale industrial establishments and expansions, A new geopolitical landscape, Excellence and collaboration - how to ensure Sweden´s global competitiveness? and Future exploration - how do we secure the expertise of the future?, national challenges that were anchored and clarified in Skellefteå´s unique context.
Expected long term effects
Our hope is that the issues will continue to live on after the conference, that the experiences and insights that were shared will be captured by politics, for example the issue of risk sharing in large establishments. We also hope that the breadth of actors who participated can act as ambassadors for the conference so that it continues to gather for exciting dialogues about collaboration.
Approach and implementation
It is a challenge to plan and implement a conference with the goal of having current issues and participants on stage with completely updated knowledge and insights into the subject when everything is changing as quickly as it is now, not least in Norra Sverige. We had to rebuild the program so that we could meet our goal relatively late in the project which meant a lot of work for everyone involved but in hindsight well worth the effort.
