With the participation of Jessica Rosencrantz, Sweden’s Minister for EU Affairs, we invite you to attend a high-level event examining the economic consequences of the next round of enlargement.
The discussions will provide timely insights into what the enlargement process means for Europe’s future and for Swedish and European companies. What are the economic implications of EU enlargement? How will it impact economic growth, competitiveness and the functioning of the Single Market? And how can candidate countries influence business opportunities, risks and supply chains?
