In his research, Jonatan analyses how firms make strategic decisions to make a positive contribution to sustainable development and deal with the ensuing tensions between issues and actors.

His roundtable will look at the different ways in which companies can make use of tech to innovate and develop their business capabilities.

Jonatan said: “The topic of innovation that I’m leading on during the Forum is of key importance to our region. There is so much innovation on our doorstep. However, it is also a real challenge to master the disruption that innovation brings to businesses.

“I hope that attendees will learn more about how to embrace innovation and use it to add value and will gain insights into best practices to overcome resistance against new technologies in the adoption process.”
