The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) is an employer’s organization that represents and advocates for local government in Sweden. Its chairman, Anders Knape, discusses their work on behalf of the public sector stakeholders, Sweden’s role as an innovation hub, and the opportunities of embracing digitalization.
An advantage of the Swedish system is collaboration on a national and regional level which makes it easy to create new systems and innovate. The reason why we are so successful in many fields is the freedom Sweden provides to try.
