Seminarium
With the launch of the Savings and Investment Union (SIU) strategy, Europe now has a real opportunity to turn savings into investment, boost business growth, and strengthen capital markets across the EU.
The Confederation of Swedish Enterprise is pleased to invite you to a discussion on how investments, national reforms, pension funds, and private markets can help unlock this potential and put Europe’s savings to work, with a light breakfast served from 8h30.
