Exploring the trends we see in technology, business and people’s everyday lives, the Schibsted Future Report aims to illuminate what happens next. This year’s report features the ideas, research, and case studies from more than 25 of Schibsted’s own.
“Collaboration is a theme throughout our third annual Future Report,” says Lena K Samuelsson, EVP of Communications and CSR. “From workplace culture to the very core of our business and how we join forces to unleash the powers of technology and innovation to support journalism and people’s individual choice. Collaboration is also what we want to achieve with Future Report. We want to share our ideas and stories with the world around us, and spark exciting conversations.”
