"Det behövs politiska åtgärder för att främja investeringar: förändrade regelverk och villkor för privata aktörer, eller en ökning av statliga satsningar. Vilka specifika åtgärder och investeringsobjekt som vore lämpligast är väl värt att debattera – det vore en välkommen variation till den dystra diskussion som annars bara handlar om klimatomställningens baksidor." Det skriver Misum-forskaren Max Jerneck på Dagens Industri debatt den 10 november 2018.

Congratulations to Lotta Hultin, researcher at the Department of Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Technology, who was awarded 2nd prize at the EDAMBA Doctoral Thesis Competition.

Banks, pension funds and other institutional investors have a key role to play in efforts to avoid dangerous climate change. This is the message of a new study by Victor Galaz, researcher in Misum´s MFS program, and his team from Stockholm Resilience Centre. The study was published in the latest issue of Global Environmental Change.

SITE researchers Anders Olofsgård and Maria Perrotta Berlin won 1.8 MSEK from Vetenskapsrådet for research on the community-level impact of foreign aid-financed interventions.

How can entrepreneurs navigate in a digital landscape with a high degree of uncertainty? AI, AR, VR, IR and blockchain as well as new business models and business behaviours are rapidly changing the FinTech business landscape.
