For the fourth year in a row, we are there to talk about Sweden's next growth region. It's no coincidence, we're there for a simple reason. We are continuing our work to put Dalarna on the map as Sweden's next growth region. Behind our participation is a deep conviction that the sustainable growth of the future is shaped where entrepreneurship, innovation and regional collaboration play the main role.

Please come by and participate in our activities in Visby or follow us on our social channels. Dalarna Talks from Almedalen is broadcast live.
