Experts warn Swedish rules are scaring away innovators

Several experts criticize Sweden's strict rules for non-European workers and argue that they harm the economy.

The government wants to make Sweden more attractive for highly qualified labor. Experts however believe that the rules for non-European innovators make labor immigration more difficult.

Carl Bergkvist at the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce warns of the consequences. He says the country risks missing out on the next Spotify or Klarna if the rules are not changed.

The criticism targets immigration policy which the experts describe as ill-considered and harmful to growth.
