Sweden is a good place to grow! It’s the country with the 4th highest number of scaleups and its capital, Stockholm, is ranked as the 3rd top European Scaleup city. Read the full report from Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship - https://ece.nl/research/european-scaleup-monitor/ A creative and open work environment is for many a prerequisite to deliver innovative ideas and products. A Swedish workplace is often informal. It is common for dress to be casual, work hours flexible... and discussions open, and people usually call the boss by first name. Many start-ups, for example, have flexible offices in mixed environments. Focus on innovation and internationalisation is a key feature of Sweden’s business sector. Collaboration between corporations and start-ups serves as a fundament for future business development. Established corporations boost the innovative drive within their own organisation, while start-ups get a chance to deploy their pilot project in a real business setting. #startup #scaleup #entrepreneur #innovation #sweden #swedishinnovation #informaldress #relaxed Credits: Elliot Elliot/imagebank.sweden.se

Each playwright writes about the future they envision and how the pandemic will impact their storytelling. The audio stories will be released over seven weeks and give an artistic answer to the question "How will the pandemic shape our future stories?"

The marketing and communication industry has been hardly hit. However, we have found that nurturing and belonging to strong networks is more important now than ever when everything is digital. For us, our network of brilliant creative minds has really been our daily source of inspiration and strength. It's all a matter of perspective and finding new ways forward together with others. #SwedishMinds with Yasmina Backström from The Swedish Villa. She runs the New York office w...hile the founders, Katarina Strandberg and Leila Falkenberg, are based in Stockholm. We work with bringing Swedish Values, Innovation, and Communication Expertise to New York through helping brands with creative projects. We believe that the building blocks for being a Sustainable brand are already there and that these can be activated by Communication and collaborating with other brands with similar values. I was born here and brought up in Sweden and finally moved back to New York in December 2015. Having travelled back-and-forth between Sweden and the US my entire life, I have always felt like a true Swedish-American and am so attached to the combination of these two cultures. I decided to move here permanently for work five years ago and have, ever since, been working with the combination of the Swedish and American cultures and values, something I really enjoy doing. Sweden is reflected in everything we do. We work with creative projects "The Swedish Way" and with weaving typically Swedish values of equality, inclusion, transparency and openness into all our projects. We have found that brands that build and scale with strong core values are both more sustainable and profitable. #allinnyc #creativity #sustainableliving #sustainable #sustainability #swedish #connections #collaboration
