Thought Leadership

Joakim Öhman, Thomas Ekman, & Peter Rådeström - Local Roots, Global Reach: building partner ecosystems in Northern Europe

Northern Europe has the competence, technology and trust that buyers increasingly ask for, yet it rarely turns them into partnerships that scale. In this panel, leaders from across the regional ecosystem, including a buyer, discuss how to build stronger local and regional partnerships, what is holding them back, and how to share the value so everyone wins. Then comes the big question: can regional strength win share in the global market?

3:00 pm – 3:45 pm
