Mr. Par Nuder, Senior Counselor to Albright Stonebridge Group and former Minister of Finance of Sweden,will give a lecture on the Nordic model and why Sweden handled the financial crisis better than most other European countries. In our time of globalization Sweden has managed to open up to the outside world, while still maintaining its core values. Not only have Sweden managed to provide a free market economy combined with a welfare state, the country is also one of the world`s most gender equal societies, which has become a huge competitive advantage. Mr. Nuder will also comment on the recent Swedish election and the Finnish elections coming up in March 2015. What are the political trends in the Nordics and what do they imply for business and investments, there and globally ?
