Students left impressed by Swedish corporate values

Organizers of The Swedish Spirit of Innovation, a program promoting Swedish corporate culture among Chinese college campuses, said the initiative has attracted more than 1,300 students and young professionals to events in Shanghai, Beijing and Nanjing.

Six of Sweden's leading enterprises are behind the program: heavy industrial specialist Alfa Laval AB, industrial tools and equipment maker Atlas Copco, communications giant Ericsson, IKEA, the home appliances and furniture supplier, industrial product manufacturer SKF, and Volvo Group, the Chinese-owned automaker.

Four core Swedish industrial values are being promoted: love, innovation, participation and sharing.
