Looking for ways to bridge the knowledge gap? Not enough local talent to go around? You’re not alone.

To stay competitive, increasingly more companies are going abroad to get the competence they need – whether IT, AI or other critical skill sets – from abroad. Understand how and why recruiting top U.S. talents from american universities to Sweden adds value to your company and Sweden’s dynamic economy.
