Panel Discussion in SSDD Studio
Peter Ollén, member of the Swedish Parliament's Committee on Cultural Affairs, and Louise Eklund, member of the Committee on Industry and Trade, together with Form/Design Center, invite you to a panel discussion on design and growth. The creative industries constitute a new foundational sector for Sweden with significant potential and impact on employment, regional development, innovation, exports, and the green transition.
Form/Design Center is leading the initiative to establish a national professional organization for designers and, in conjunction with a parliamentary seminar on January 29, 2025, launched a new report on the design industry. Daniel Byström, the author of the report, will participate in the panel discussion.
On March 31, 2025, Kreativ Sektor, commissioned by the government, presented the report Updated Statistics for the Cultural and Creative Industries. The report shows that these industries together generate SEK 650 billion in turnover and employ nearly a quarter of a million people in Sweden. Johanna Nylander, Head of Analysis and Deputy CEO of the Swedish Games Industry (Dataspelsbranschen), who contributed to the report, will also take part in the discussion.
The moderator is Magnus Göransson.
Welcome to join the discussion on the future of the creative industries in Sweden — with a focus on design!
NB! The panel discussion will be held in Swedish.
