Utökad information om evenemanget

Sweden’s technical universities have given rise to vibrant innovation clusters and world leading companies - built on a strong engineering tradition and world-class digital infrastructure. However, in the age of AI, what brought us here is not enough. Competition is intensifying rapidly. Countries and companies alike are investing at massive scale in energy, computing power, data, connectivity, and talent. The EU is stepping up, as are global investors. The risk? That Sweden loses momentum just as the playing field is being redrawn. To remain a leader, we need to strengthen the emerging AI-ecosystem in Sweden. New partnerships are required - to secure the necesarry skills and investment. This is a prerequisite for AI to truly become a superpower for Sweden, without compromising security. What must be done over the next ten years to avoid falling behind? Which investments and decisions are truly critical? And what will it take for international capital to choose Sweden?
