Full Keynote by Björn Wahlroos

“If Europe wants to make it on the world stage, we need a vibrant economy, competitiveness, powerful defense, and a vision of the future based on our common values.” – Björn Wahlroos

At Nordic Business Forum 2024, Björn gave a compact overview of the challenges facing Europe’s competitiveness, leadership, and unity. He, for example, highlighted how Europe has fallen behind the U.S. in economic growth and technology, pointing to bureaucratic inefficiencies and a lack of shared identity as significant barriers.

If you missed his talk or want to go back to it, you can watch Björn’s full keynote on our Youtube channel.
