Business priorities in a ‘post-truth’ society

We are approaching the end of a challenging year.  Terrorism, migration or political instability near our borders have contributed to generate a sense of fear in our citizens, giving rise to populism or anti-trade feelings. Closing borders and becoming inward looking is not the solution. “Business cannot replace politicians. Our main task is to invest, create jobs and innovate. But we can remind politicians of their duty to develop policies that promote a more sustainable and competitive business environment in Europe.“ said Markus J. Beyrer during a breakfast meeting organised by the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise in Oslo on 13 December. He was joined by State Secretary of the Norwegian ministry of Foreign Affairs, Elsbeth Tronstad. Photos
