Almedalen Week
Almedalsveckan was started in 1968 by Sweden’s former Prime Minister Olof Palme on Gotland. Over the decades, Almedalen Week has grown into one of the world’s largest events that draws industry, academia, governments and civil society from Sweden, Europe and more recently Asia to exchange ideas, network, build relations and transfer knowledge on societal and sustainability issues.
Held during Almedalen Week, Engaging India @ Almedalen invites innovation and sustainability stakeholders from India and Sweden to discuss global, sustainability, and societal issues. It is organised by the Future Urbanisms programme of Uppsala University, Sweden, Zerocity Network, and strategic and sustainability communications firm Content People AB, that focuses on building strategic and impact driven engagements between India and Swden. Engaging India @ Almedalen hears from thought leaders, industry experts, academia and the government through a series of panel discussions, seminars, fireside chats and interviews on various topics.
