"Capitalism has run out of steam"

It is an illusion that we live in the most innovative era. That is according to Björn Weigel, who argues that ownership is crucial for capitalism to flourish. You can hear him speak at SKAGEN's New Year's conference in January 2019.

How to create a run-free financial system

A decade on from the financial crisis, is our financial system any safer? That is the question John Cochrane, Senior Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, will look to answer at SKAGEN’s 2019 New Year conference.

Political risks in an age of uncertainty

What are the greatest political risks we will face in the upcoming year? That is just one of the questions that the Pulitzer Prize winning author Anne Applebaum will be asking at our New Year’s Conference 2019.

Working towards a new world

Not many professors are named celebrity researchers by the media. Maria Strømme’s research and breakthroughs in nanotechnology may be instrumental in solving many of the world’s problems.
