Digitalization, Innovation and Productivity

How does the digitalization of economies and societies change how we produce, how we work, and how we trade with each other? How do we treat data and data flows? How do we guarantee the interoperability of new technologies worldwide? And how can we bridge the digital divide in the global economy and within countries?

Hanaholmen celebrates Finlands Centenary Year theme ‘Together’ by arranging the bilateral conference Futureforum. Together with our friends in Sweden we face a new world in which governments, businessleaders, the scientific community and citizens need to work together. By working together in Finland and Sweden towards common new inventions we can enhance the future living conditions in our societies and be forerunners in the digital development.
