The BNP Paribas Sustainable Future Forum Global Livestream show was broadcast live on Wednesday 18 October 2022. The event gathered insights and perspectives from over 160 sustainability experts based in 16 countries across the globe, and saw over 1800 registered delegates tune in across the three time zones.

Views from our speakers – including corporate and institutional clients, policymakers, startups, academia and our own BNP Paribas experts – covered a number of critical transition themes, including:

• Net zero transition levers, including technology, energy efficiency solutions, regulation and the public sector, and leadership,
• CleanTech solutions and the role of the start-up ecosystem in driving innovation,
• Biodiversity and nature-based solutions, in the context of the upcoming COP15.

We are delighted to have the full programme available on-demand here for you;

After two years pause following the pandemic, politicians and decision makers once again gathered in Almedalen for conversations about the challenges and opportunities facing Sweden. BNP Paribas contributed to the conversation as a partner to Dagens Industri’s mingle and by hosting a Garden Talk with three trought leaders –Tina Fordham, Etienne de Gonneville and Gunilla von Platen.

Eirik Winter, CEO BNP Paribas Group Nordic region commented-

“Almedalen Week is an important place for dialogue, exchange and meetings that help to develop our society. In addition to this, collaboration between the public and private sector is more important than ever. A big thank you to Tina Fordham, Etienne de Gonneville and Gunilla von Platen for joining us and sharing your perspectives.”

On the 18th of May, BNP Paribas had the pleasure of hosting the exclusive preview of Vårsalongen – 100 years at Liljevalchs, and the unveiling and inauguration of a the new iconic addition to the square outside of Liljevalchs+ – the statue Ute, Flicka by Charlotte Gyllenhammar.

Vårsalongen (The Spring Salon) is – in principle – the country’s oldest uninterrupted exhibition format, dating back more than 100 years. Since its inception in 1921, it has become a beloved and stubborn tradition that has grown over time into a veritable folk festival. The 100th anniversary exhibition shows a selection of the Salon’s rich history and brings together some 200 artists who have made their debut or have recently participated in the Salon.

The twelve halls of Liljevalchs offered a delightful spectacle with everything from the masters of the past, Sigrid Hjertén, Einar Jolin and Sven X-et Erixson, to some of today’s most popular artists such as Lars Lerin and Lena Cronqvist. Of course, with the same breadth and openness of artistic expression that has come to characterise the brilliance of the Spring Fair – painting, sculpture, video, photography and drawing, printmaking, design, craft and installation.
