What role do gender equality and diversity play in the transformation and competitiveness of the manufacturing industry?
Welcome to a lunch seminar where leading representatives from politics and industry will discuss how skills, diversity and new perspectives can strengthen industrial transformation, competitiveness and resilience.
In a short period of time, the global landscape has fundamentally changed, creating new conditions for industrial development. Is diversity still a priority for industry and for Sweden? Do these perspectives have a place in today’s boardrooms? If so, what role do they play? And how is industry working with diversity and gender equality? What is the political direction?
Seminar: 11:00–12:00, followed by lunch networking 12:00–13:00
Speakers:
- Nina Larsson, Minister for Gender Equality
- Pia Sandvik, CEO, Teknikföretagen
- Gunnar Wik, CEO, Siemens Energy AB (recipient of the Swedish Industry Council’s Gender Equality Award 2025)
The discussion will be moderated by Sofia Wieselfors, Programme Director, Net Zero Industry.
