What can Canada learn from Sweden's business culture?

Canada's “insular” tech startup firms can learn one key thing from Swedish firms: openness, says the Ambassador of Sweden to Canada. 

Sweden's small size and geographic positioning on the fringe of Europe foster an open attitude when it comes to receiving ideas from the rest of the world, said Teppo Tauriainen during a visit to Toronto's MaRS Discovery District. Meanwhile Canada's large presence in North America and sole border shared with a friendly superpower to the south might leave our startups with a more inward-looking mentality. 

“I think that could be one area maybe Canadian companies aren't as brave as Swedish companies are,” he says.
