GADDEN is the largest career fair within the Nordic region for business, economics, law, logistics and environmental science studies. This event takes place annually at the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg and has been growing constantly since the first fair took place in 1982.

This year’s fair will be held on November 4 – 5, 2026 and during these two days companies and organizations can meet some of Sweden’s top students in business, economics, law, logistics and environmental science. GADDEN also offers interesting lectures on contemporary subjects with talented lecturers and we are proud to present and introduce you to our 8 000 ambitious students, eager to meet representatives from both Swedish and international companies.

Theme of GADDEN 2026 - United by ambition

GADDEN is where different paths meet. Students from all parts of the University of Gothenburg, with different backgrounds, studies, and ideas, come together.

We’re all on our own path, but we share the same drive to grow and move forward.

When we come together, we see more, learn more, and realise we’re part of something bigger.

United by ambition.
