Meet STRING at Almedalsveckan!

Jun 19, 2024 | Events

STRING will be in Visby at the week of Almedalen, Sweden’s premier platform for political discussions, taking place from June 25th to 28th, 2024. Join the conversation with us on cross-border cooperation, EU politics, infrastructure, hydrogen and green innovation!

STRING representatives will participate in several panel discussions, round tables and events during the week of Almedalen. In addition, STRING will host a panel discussion June 25 at 14.00 on the railway connection between Gothenburg and Oslo where we ask: What will be the cost for Sweden not to upgrade the railway stretch between the two major Scandinavian cities?  The conversation will delve into societal, economic and environmental consequences and implications. You can find us at Hästgatan 12 at the 2030-arena.

 

The experts on stage will be:

  • Karin Pleijel, Chairwoman of STRING, and  Deputy Mayor, Gothenburg City
  • Nils Paul, Infrastructure Expert, Swedish Business Administration
  • Göran Eriksson, CEO, Port of Gothenburg
  • Per Tenggren, Deputy Chairman of the Board of Infrastructure and Public Transport, Västra Götaland Region
  • Thomas Becker, Managing Director of STRING, (Moderator)

 

This panel promises an exchange of ideas on the potential impact and implications of this ambitious infrastructure project.

If you would like to discuss cross-border cooperation, EU politics, infrastructure, hydrogen or green innovation with us at STRING, do not hesitate to contact us for an informal chat over a coffee at Gotland!

We look forward to connecting with you at Almedalen!
