The number of people with reduced work capacity has risen in recent years, at the same time as the welfare system in the Nordic countries is under pressure. It is therefore important to reverse this trend with the help of innovation in the field of disablement rehabilitation, and to reform the welfare system, starting by recognising how important it is for people to take an active part in value creation in society. To achieve this goal it is necessary to investigate all viable options and remove any obstacles.
