​Sweden & Stockholm: The World's Best Place for Talent?

​Why do the world's best people choose Sweden and Stockholm, and what does it actually take to break into the ecosystem?

​Sweden has the companies, the innovation ecosystem and the quality of life to compete for the world's best talent. And Stockholm is one of the best hubs for tech right now. But global competition is intensifying, and getting people here is only the first step.

​Hosted by Nordic Tech Week, with contributions from Work in Sweden (an initiative by Swedish Institute) and Stockholm Business Region, this interactive one-hour session brings together international talent, employers and the organisations shaping Sweden's and Stockholm's global attractiveness. The question on the table: what does it actually take to break in?

​Together, we'll look at the entire talent journey, from discovering Sweden and Stockholm, and finding the right opportunity to relocating, building a career and choosing to stay.

​What we'll explore

• ​Why international talent chooses Sweden, and why some choose somewhere else

• ​What makes Stockholm worth choosing over London, Berlin, Amsterdam and other global talent hubs

• ​How to actually find the right opportunities, before you arrive and once you're here

• ​What relocating, working and building a life in Sweden & Stockholm is really like

• ​How Stockholm and Sweden position themselves globally, and whether it matches reality

• ​What's stopping talented people from coming, or staying

• ​What government, cities and companies can solve together

​Who should join
International professionals interested in working in Sweden, alongside founders, employers, People and HR leaders, and organisations working to attract and retain global talent. If you're considering a move to Sweden, have recently arrived, hire internationally or help shape Sweden's talent strategy, we want your perspective in the room.

​The goal
Leave with concrete answers on why Sweden, and what it actually takes to break in and build a career here.
