The project will focus on so-called Hidden Champions, which are medium-sized firms, often family-owned, who belong to the world leaders in their niche.

– The track-record of Hidden Champions is a testament of their historical ability to adapt and transform and thereby deal with external chocks and transformation pressures. This makes them particularly interesting as best-practice examples to learn from in the current geo-political and economic climate, says Magnus Nilsson.

The project will run over three years, starting during the spring of 2024. For information about the project contact magnus.nilsson@fek.lu.se or markus.grillitsch@keg.lu.se
