Baltic Sea Region/China Day 2017
Sweden, other countries in the Baltic Sea Region and China – challenges in a changing global economy
During the conference, we look mainly at both the short-term and the long-term outlook for the three Baltic countries, Russia and China - but also for Sweden and emerging economies in more general terms. How can
these countries and corporations tackle new and old global challenges?
