Anna Rosling Rönnlund, co-founder of Gapminder and co-author of Factfulness, is one of the headline speakers of this year's Inclusive Business Forum - 'Markets of the Future'.

Gapminder, Sida, Google and BRAC UK. At this year's Inclusive Business Forum themed 'Markets of the Future', a number of distinguished speakers will lead discussions on business opportunities for Swedish companies in the world's fastest-growing economies. 

The highest economic growth is taking place in developing economies, especially in Africa and Asia. How do we understand these fast-growing markets and how can Swedish companies reach these markets? Inclusive Business Sweden invites you to the annual 'Inclusive Business Forum' which is held November 7th in Gothenburg. As the year's theme 'Markets of the Future' reveals, we will, together with business, civil society and academics, explore opportunities for Swedish companies to establish themselves in high-volume markets of the future.

“One of the reasons I started Dollar Street was because I was fed up by people talking about people being poor, that that was their culture, that was the way they wanted to live and that we should not interfere” – Anna Rosling Rönnlund
