In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, transforming a traditional heavy industrial company into a fast-paced technology-driven entity requires a bold approach that encompasses strategic acquisitions, effective change management, and the cultivation of a dynamic corporate culture.
We are delighted to welcome Helena Hedblom, President and CEO of Epiroc Group, as our guest at our next Swedish Chambers APAC CEO Talk on 28 February. Ms Hedblom will talk about the transformation journey of Eprioc and how to move a heavy industrial company to become more of a fast-paced technology company. The success lies in the strategic blend of acquisitions, change management, and cultural evolution. By embracing innovation at every level and fostering a dynamic organisational culture, companies can position themselves at the forefront of technological progress, ensuring long-term sustainability and competitiveness in the global market.
The discussion is facilitated by Petra Andrén, who is an innovation leader, experienced board member, accomplished investor, and business builder with a track record spanning over 25 years in international markets and advanced technology sectors.
