Today I participated in the second of three Swedish Customs & Trade Symposiums (Customs Day 2018), this time in Stockholm.
The event is an annual event organized in the three major cities of Sweden, namely; Gothenburg, Stockholm and Malmö.
In the Stockholm event today approximately 500 people participated.
I was invited to a panel (two speakers) to talk about ‘Global Customs Trends’, where I primarily talked about Brexit.
The event is co-organized by Swedish Customs, Stockholm Chamber of Commerce and the Swedish Confederation of Transport Enterprises.
Great event. The new CEO of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Andreas Hatzigeorgieu opened the event with a great speech about the Chambers view on future trade.
Next stop Malmö – next week.
170 days to Brexit. On 20-21 November, only days after the extra EU Summit, we arrange a high-level non-profit Brexit Symposium in Soest, Germany.
We have a great lunch-to-lunch agenda with amazing speakers concentrating on practical preparations for Brexit regardless of scenario. You find the updated agenda below. Don’t miss it, still some places left. This is a unique one-time EU-UK event.

What do you build? A bridge or a wall? There are different ways of meeting challenges. Either you can try to build a wall to shut out problems and challanges – or you can try to build bridges over to the other side.
For me the choice has always been easy. I build bridges, bridges to the future. I believe in cooperation. To build things together.
it is important to find new ways. If you build one wall, you will sooner or later have to build another. And another. If you build walls on all sides you will soon find yourself in a closed room without any doors leading out again.
We need bridges and we need to pass these bridges together.
What do you build?
