Roughly 76% of the readers were in management positions or worked as entrepreneurs.[6]
History and profile
Forum was founded in 1968 through a merger of various technology and business publications whose roots stretch back to 1880. Forum's stated mission is to act as an ”independent liberal magazine, editorially free from any party or organization, striving to promote a spirit of humanistic enlightenment, democracy, open and transparent business, as well as innovation and entrepreneurship”.[7] The final editor-in-chiefs include Patrik Lindfors,[8] Fredrik Nars, Ragnhild Artimo, Torsten Fagerholm and Sören Jonsson.[1][4] The final issue 2021-10 was published in December 2021.[5]
