All estimations indicate that Sweden is about to embark on a journey of sustained periods of investments in residential housing. Sweden is about to become a state of 10 million inhabitants by 2017, and continues to grow; the number of 20-24 year olds is increasing.

Alumni: Max Nilsson
In June this year, three years has passed since I stepped out from the beautiful building Universitetshuset with the sun streaming down my face as a freshly graduated Civilekonom. It is hard not to feel nostalgic when I think back on my four great years in Lund and at LUSEM, a great place to live,…
The Innovation Powerhouse
Sweden is widely regarded as an innovations powerhouse. Even though Sweden is a small country, we have one of the world’s highest patent growth rates, some of the highest spending on research and development in Europe, and one of the world’s highest rates of trained engineers per capita. These, among other things, have been instrumental…
Light hasn’t made me more sympathetic
Last week, I missed my train home. It wasn’t a disaster, the next train was coming in just an hour; but that was all the same an undesired hour on my hands that had to be frittered away somewhere. I decided to spend it in a small, picturesque café in downtown Lund where I ordered…

Growing up in a family where customer value has been of great importance, since both my parents have been running their own businesses for as long as I can remember, and my older brother being an entreprenurial brainiac who studied at the Chalmers school of Entrepreneurship.

President’s Column #126
I am sitting on the train on my way to Linköping and this semester’s first U9, a network between the nine largest unions and associations around Sweden that represents Business and economics students. It is one of the external networks where I represent LundaEkonomerna. It is currently March, and more than half of my time…

Recent advancements in autonomous drive technologies signal that we are on the verge of a new paradigm within the transportation of people. You might also have heard about the “internet of things”, meaning that objects are being…
Editorial #126
Taking over after Axel, the previous editor in chief, has been, not to say the least, a great challenge. Although I was prepared to have a lot more to do, trying to balance my schoolwork and Lundtan has been rather tough. Those of you who have studied NEK B are probably familiar with the state…
Uppsalaekonomerna’s Vice President visits Nådiga Lundtan
Life. Rewarding, pleasant and loving or long, hard and painful? There are many ways to look upon life. My belief is that we all change our perspective depending on where in life we find ourselves at the moment. Sometimes life is cheerful and other times not as much. But no matter the present state you…
