It’s finally time for another Mötesplats Lycksele, this year with the
theme “the boundless meetings”. Mötesplats Lycksele is based on
three concepts: Day of tomorrow, Competence Forum and Development
workshops. In plenary, we listen to inspiring lectures about innovation,
sustainability and competence. At the same time as program in the
Great congress hall is ongoing, development workshops are held in
the next room where groups in joint efforts create suggestions for
companies and products that the world will demand in the future.
Very welcomed to the big mobilization
