In 2022 Switch to Sweden in collaboration with Linköping Science Park, Terminal 5, and Future Place Leadership published the “Talent Map Report: Academic International Talent and Companies in Sweden.” The findings served to support the mapping of needs, challenges, and opportunities to understand more accurately the situation among attraction and retention of international talent in Sweden. This report serves as a direct sequel of these findings and acts as the first of its kind under this umbrella to conduct an international comparison across selected European countries.
The decision to expand the study on an international level serves two main purposes. Firstly, this provides a better understanding of the identified challenges and opportunities in a comparison manner. Secondly, the collaborative platform of European wide entities is a desired concrete step within Switch to Sweden in moving from recommendations to action serving to support mobility with Europe rather than a competitive war on talent across Europe.
