ForAc's "Enhancing small state preparedness: Risks of foreign ownership, supply disruptions and technological dependencies" seminar @Kämp today! Great presentations and comics showcased.

Erinomainen keskustelu pienten valtioiden mahdollisuuksista vaikuttaa ulkomaisten omistusten, globaalien tuotantohäiriöiden ja teknologisten riippuvuuksien tuottamiin ongelmiin. Erilaisia strategioita (protektionismi, liberalismi, teknologia) ja niiden yhdistelmiä esillä.

Thanks for a great event today with FIIA and FORAC "Enhancing small state #preparedness: Risks of foreign ownership, supply disruptions and technological dependencies" #security #technology #AI #geoeconomic #geotalous #Geopalvelu

The findings of the FORAC project were presented at today’s seminar. The project studied how small states could shield enterprises critical for their supply security from strategic foreign acquisitions and political retaliation, and still maintain their open economies.

The ForAc-project has a special exhibition at the Turku City Library showcasing the comics drawn by Tuuli Hypén. The comics portray dystopian scenarios set in 2027, 2030 and 2035. The exhibition is on display until the end of February.
