A conversation with Kristina Sundin Jonsson

How is Skellefteå doing after Northvolt's fall?

Heja Framtiden travels to Skellefteå to meet municipal director Kristina Sundin Jonsson for a conversation about 16 years of ups and downs.

How do you manage one of Europe's largest industrial establishments – and how is a municipality affected when bankruptcy becomes a reality? What happens to the belief in the future, the vision, and the power of development?

This episode is part two of a four-part series produced in paid collaboration with the Skellefteå place brand ahead of Society Expo, which takes place in Skellefteå from May 27 to June 9.
