How the Nordics Can Lead the Future of AI

What will it take for the Nordics to lead in the age of AI? Are we ready to compete – and collaborate – on a global scale? And how can policy, research and innovation come together to unlock AI’s full potential?

Generative AI is reshaping the world at high speed – offering major opportunities, but also complex challenges around regulation and rapid development. So where does Sweden stand, and how can the Nordics better prepare for what’s next?

A new report, presented by Google and Implement Consulting Group, explores how AI could boost Sweden’s GDP by SEK 500 billion in ten years – if the right conditions are in place. The seminar dives into the region’s readiness, and what’s needed to strengthen the Nordics as a global AI hub.

This event is part of Capital of Tech – the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce’s series spotlighting tech trends, entrepreneurship and innovation.
