CAPITAL OF FINANCE: Summit

07 mars 2024
12.30–18.00

Regeringsgatan 29, Stockholm

As Northern Europe’s leading financial center, how can Stockholm strengthen its position and continue thriving in an ever-changing financial landscape? What is the financial sector's role in aiding a much needed transition, and where is the money to make it happen?

Through our new initiative “Capital of Finance”, we will explore these questions and many more. 

About the event

On March 7th, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce invites the financial industry and the wider business community to its first Stockholm Finance Summit. A day filled to the brim with interesting discussions, fantastic networking opportunities and inspiring speakers. How can we create a better business environment to generate more growth? 

We will listen to inspiring keynote speakers providing insights and perspectives on the theme for the day: 

Let us look into the enabling power of the financial sector for innovation and transition

How does the green transition take place in the best possible way, and where is the money to make it happen? Is there a need for even more robust regulations for the market? How do we ensure Stockholm is worldleading in innovation?
