”It’s great to see how Future Report is sparking conversations all around. We want to share our insights, but also get to know more and learn from others. To talk about the future is a great way to do that, everybody is curious about it!” says Lena K Samuelsson, EVP communications and Brand.
Schibsted is a driving force in the digital world and in the main focus in the report is on how technology is affecting the future. But this year some of the major trends also concern sustainability, authenticity and facts. We also tell the stories behind three of our companies; Leboncoin, VG and Infojobs.
“The Future Report is as always filled with deep knowledge and new insights. I believe this is a fantastic way to show the world a little bit of all the interesting things going on in Schibsted – and the great people we have”, says Schibsted CEO Rolv Erik Ryssdal.
This morning there are presentations in Stockholm and Oslo, other offices will follow, so keep eyes and ears open. Printed copies have also been delivered to major offices. If you need more copies or other material, contact the editor ann.axelsson@schibsted.com.
