In addition to her operational work, Gabriella is active in national and international contexts related to policy development, workforce development, and innovation systems. She operates at the intersection of technology, business, and societal development, with a particular interest in how structures, regulations, and collaboration can strengthen Sweden’s and Europe’s competitiveness.
