Skills and talents are key to the future of businesses
Companies in the Fyrbodal region face great opportunities – but also significant challenges. As companies electrify, digitalization gains momentum, and the green transition accelerates, it becomes increasingly important to recruit the right people and leverage international expertise.
– Attracting and retaining the right skills is crucial for our companies to grow and develop. At this autumn’s conference in Fyrbodal, companies will receive concrete tools to meet the challenges of the future, says Anki Samuelsson, process manager at Fyrbodal Municipal Association.
Companies that find the right talent
Seeing diversity and international perspectives as an asset is becoming increasingly important. More people want to work for companies that value their knowledge, and international employees contribute experiences that strengthen innovation and competitiveness. For Fyrbodal, it is about working strategically with skills supply and employer attractiveness – to ensure growth and continue being an attractive region for both companies and new establishments.
– Young people and international talents want to work for companies that believe in their skills and offer development opportunities, says Henrik Svensson from Teknik College. He emphasizes how cultural differences can become a strength in business development.
A region built on drive and curiosity
The Fyrbodal region has always been characterized by entrepreneurship and curiosity. From sawmills and fishing to today’s advanced industries and high technology, innovation has always been in focus.
– With our location in the heart of Scandinavia, good infrastructure, and attractive environments, Fyrbodal is a place where companies can establish themselves and grow. Skills supply is an important part of the whole. We are close to University West and several strong adult education providers, but the challenge is to get talents to want to stay and build their future here in the region, says Jenni Hagman from Business Region West.
