About Real Business Business cannot succeed in societies that fail. The Real Business seminars represent an arena where business and society meet. Real stories and difficult dilemmas are shared and discussed, creating new dialogues, perspectives and ideas. Real Business is hosted by Hydro and the Nobel Peace Center. We invite decision makers, future leaders, politicians, the business community and society to discuss, learn and get new perspectives on how business and society can work together and create positive change.
