WEBINAR:

The impact from regulation – where will the Nordic corporate governance model be in a world between Draghi and Musk?

When: April 24^th, 15:00-16:30 (CEST)

Where: Teams, online

The whole area of regulation is becoming a focal point both inside the EU with the publication of the Draghi report, and in the USA with the new Trump administration, calling for a radical shift. The green transition, lack of competitiveness, the defence situation in Europe and an aging population calls for new approaches. At the same time, the financial sector is drowning in regulation. The three heads of the Nordic FSA are asking for help and a completely different approach. In the USA, Elon Musk is now appointed to make a complete revolution in this area over a period of 18 months, which might be triggering a completely different digitalized and AI driven approach. Hence, at this webinar we would like to focus on this new reality, and what could be a relevant Nordic research agenda as a response to these major challenges.

Agenda:

1. Introduction
2. Regulation and performance – what do we know?
3. Can the Nordic corporate governance model be a part of the solution for EU?
4. Regulation and impact – Why is the concept of proportionality not used more effectively and legislation reviewed in line with economic progress?
5. Is digitalization and AI the solution to become competitive? Can the Nordics match the US?
6. A new research agenda for the Nordics
