Against the background of the worrying trend towards increased disintegration in society's increasingly skill-intensive domains - and at the same time an international situation that testifies to the consequences of confrontation and increased antagonism in academia, trade and politics - the Nordic region appears to be a relatively calm harbor. Therefore, it is urgent that Sweden in politics and business builds on this advantage and seeks new ways to develop knowledge-based policies for coordination across disciplines through strategic dialogues. These dialogues are conducted through selected media platforms and communication channels that promote a Nordic knowledge exchange and with the aim of actualizing a future potential based on shared values and common history. Increased strategic and critical dialogue on the future through constructive cultural exchange aims to deepen the sense of belonging and improve the conditions for value creation and growth through cooperation in business, politics, academia and culture. The network of dialogue partners includes face-to-face dialogues at a high strategic level (entrepreneurs, ministers, academics). Some completed knowledge dialogues are reflected in an online arena for opinion and debate, others in topical publications in continuous production. This networked knowledge integration will develop a basis for future project and programme organization that generates stability and longevity in the cultivation of culture as the root of science-business dialogue.
