Let's pass it forward

After graduating our ASAP Leaders have taken the first steps to pass their knowledge forward. Some off them went north to see SCA and present their ideas to the entire company. The rest is going to see their partners soon. All of them are however a part of ASAP Advicors that the Swedish minister for Financial Markets and Housing created during the ASAP Leaders training. Together they will create ideas for a more sustainable society! Do you want to follow their journey? Then make sure to follow asap_2030_ on Instagram.
