Seminar June 26
On Wednesday, June 26, 10.00-10.45, TechSverige and the Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers organized a seminar with panel discussions under the title Tech companies and collective agreements - what are the opportunities and challenges? at Hansaplatsen, Donnersgatan 6, in Visby.
How can collective agreements contribute to the development of Sweden as a world-leading tech nation? Influential voices have been raised that collective agreements are not adapted to the reality of tech companies. At the same time, a large proportion of employees in the tech industry are covered by collective agreements. Many companies see the benefits of collective agreements and allow flexibility to adapt the terms and conditions to their own industry, rather than via rigid legislation or judicial review. At the seminar, entrepreneurs and representatives of trade unions, employers and the social partners will discuss the opportunities and challenges, and how collective agreements contribute to innovation and competitiveness in the tech world.
Using AI as a tool
On Wednesday, June 26, 14.30-15.15, TechSverige will organize a seminar with panel discussions under the heading With AI as a means - how we strengthen Sweden's competitiveness at the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise at Hamngatan 3 in Visby.
AI is developing at a rapid pace and many countries are making major investments. Sweden, which has historically been a digital pioneer, is lagging behind in international comparisons. National initiatives have been taken to strengthen our capabilities, but are these sufficient to ensure global competitiveness?
Sweden has many advantages and opportunities to strengthen our competitiveness through AI. Given that about fifty percent of GDP comes from the export industry and that our prosperity is very much based on this, we need to have a special focus on AI to future-proof Sweden. During the seminar, leading experts and representatives from the tech industry, academia, the Nordic Council of Ministers and the AI Commission will discuss the way forward to secure Sweden's position and create the conditions for AI to become a driver of entrepreneurship, new companies, new applications and services that strengthen Swedish competitiveness.
