Business Excellence Awards 2020

Acquisition International - 2020 Business Excellence Awards 31 Mar20173 llowing the voices of Stockholm’s City and 18 universities and higher education institutions to speak as one, the work of the Stockholm Academic Forum is an essential part of the way in which Stockholm’s various different parts communicate with each other. A global leader in academia, it is no surprise that such an organisation has been created, but the success is a credit to its operations on a day-to-day basis. Stockholm has always been a modern, open and safe city, in no small part thanks to the many universities in the area. The result is a space that is characterised by creative industries, diversity and a high degree of innovation, following the leadership of these prolific institutions. The aims of the Stockholm Academic Forum are clear. With such strong academic backing, encouraging and developing the city’s ability to cater to students of all sorts is paramount. Growth as an academic destination, which is intrinsically tied to the heart of the city’s identity, is the first of these. To achieve this, strategic intelligence must be used to strengthen the position of Stockholm as an academic city, which involves the collection of data and understanding how best to utilise it. Finally, and most importantly, it is a place where all the different aspects of Stockholm’s industries can communicate clearly. The challenges involved in bringing together different academic institutions are myriad, but creating a venue where issues of the city can be discussed with businesses, and the city of Stockholm at large is very impressive. The result of this effort has been a strong connection between the different facets of Stockholm’s society, with no part being left out or undervalued. It would be easy to allow one factor to become a dominant voice, and ensuring that this doesn’t happen takes a great deal of effort on the part of the Stockholm Academic Forum. With so much to draw people in, it is easy to forget the incredible community that is created when bringing academics from across the world into one place. The Stockholm Academic Forum, therefore, ensures that instead of focusing purely on the individual, it focuses on the family unit as a whole. This is to the considerable benefit of everyone involved, with research suggesting that only one member of the family having a job leads to a swift exit from the area. Facilities such as SDCN, the Stockholm Dual Career Network, have been Connecting different organisations, from universities, to education institutions to the city which all these facilities share, is intrinsic to success for all parties. As the world becomes more connected, so too much its people.
