Ekan Management the slogan during the fair was "We increase your efficiency", a theme that went as a red thread among both visitors and seminars. Many participants described that they need to increase the quality and efficiency of the business while keeping resources unchanged. To achieve this, good follow-up is required to ensure that the right things are done, and that they are done correctly.
Another topic that was frequently discussed at the fair was how the role of the economy develops and what demands for increased competence that this change places. Today, more focus is on strategy and analysis than on accounting transactions. Since 2010, Ekan Management trained about 800 economists in the training "New role of economist - the economist as an analyst", in recent years in collaboration with KEF (Association of Swedish Municipal Economists). Many course participants visited our booth and more trainings are planned both during the fall and next spring. Read more in KEF's open educational programs, www.kef.se.

More and more people are living longer and in need of different support efforts, but the resources are at risk. By increasing the use of technical aids, the older people have the opportunity to stay at home longer, and to retain the feeling of being able to manage themselves.
