Schibsted presents Future Report 2022

“Today, after 180 years of entrepreneurship, innovation and investments, Schibsted has grown into a family of strong brands ranging from media houses to online marketplaces, digital growth businesses, and startup investors. We still carry with us both the values of our media heritage and that desire to branch out, go for growth, rethink and reinvent ourselves,” says Schibsted CEO, Kristin Skogen Lund.

In Schibsted Future Report 2022, Schibsted reveals predictions and key trends related to tech, business and people. It’s written by employees who share ideas and insights regarding topics we believe will have an impact on our world in the coming years. This year, the report covers themes spanning from the metaverse to diversity, from venture capital tigers to the war for talent.

“It is also our media heritage that inspires the Schibsted Future Report. This annual outlook on trends within tech, people and business is written by our own people and we truly believe that sharing ideas and being transparent is a foundation for democracy,” adds Skogen Lund.
