The playbook that defined a decade of tech growth is now obsolete. We’ve entered a new era where AI-powered efficiency, geopolitical strategy, and the hard physical limits of energy and hardware will define the winners and losers. In this great realignment, the Nordic region holds a unique and powerful advantage.
Join us for a crucial strategic briefing where we’ll move beyond the hype to deliver a concrete blueprint for success. During the event, we will unpack the new global landscape and present an actionable framework for Nordic innovators to leverage our region’s strengths, weaponize trust, and build the next generation of world-leading technology companies.
This is the essential event for entrepreneurs, tech leaders, and investors who want to understand how to navigate and win in the new era of tech.

Event Agenda
08:00 – 08:30 | Registration & Morning Coffee
Arrive, check in, and connect with fellow innovators over coffee and light refreshments.
08:30 – 08:40 | Welcome & Opening Remarks
A brief introduction to the day’s theme: navigating a structural realignment in technology and capitalizing on the Nordic region’s unique strategic position.
08:40 – 09:10| Session 1: The Great Realignment: A New Global Rulebook for Tech
The era of «growth-at-all-costs» is over. This session unpacks the five powerful forces reshaping our world: the end of cheap capital, the AI-native imperative, the great divergence in venture funding, the new geopolitical battlefield, and the emerging physical constraints of energy and hardware that will dictate the pace of innovation for the next decade.
09:10 – 09:25 | Coffee & Networking Break
09:25 – 09:55 | Session 2: Europe’s Third Way & The Nordic Advantage
As global dynamics shift, Europe is forging a new path of «strategic autonomy.» We’ll explore how the «Brussels Effect» turns regulation into a competitive weapon and how «smart money» is flowing into sovereign-critical sectors. We will then reveal the Nordic region’s profound and durable advantage: the «Green Compute Arbitrage» that positions us as the sustainable AI superpower the world needs.
09:55 – 10:10 | Coffee & Networking Break
10:10 – 10:40 | Session 3: A Blueprint for Nordic Innovators
This is where insight becomes action. We translate the macro trends into a concrete, four-pillar strategy for success. Learn how to Master Vertical AI, Weaponize Trust, Engineer for Efficiency, and Execute with Precision. This session delivers a clear, memorable framework to guide your business strategy and innovation roadmap.
10:40 – 11.00 | Q&A and Closing Remarks
An open forum to ask questions and engage with the key themes of the day, followed by a summary of the strategic imperatives and a final call to action.
