Keynote: A bright future

We’re heading into a complicated future and the picture we currently have is blurry, incomplete and constantly changing. This complexity overwhelms most people into complacency as it is difficult to prepare for a future that we cannot see clearly.  In this discussion, Tine Thygesen aims to paint a picture that improves our ability to make good investments and plan for a brighter future.

Nudging towards more sustainable investments – The Nordics leading the way

Breakthrough Energy’s (BE) aim is to inspire the world to develop and scale the critical solutions we need to reach net-zero emissions—so everyone can enjoy affordable, abundant clean energy. BE's investment fund BE Ventures is very engaged in the Nordics by, for example, supporting the recently launched coalition of investors Cleantech for Nordics. However, despite Sweden being European Innovation Leader again and again, BE urges for more engagement to push the climate agenda forward during the EU presidency 2023.

Risks and threats from not controlling intellectual assets

Research and innovation strengthen national security and strategic capabilities, but can, in the wrong hands, put our nation at risk. We need to gain a better understanding of these threats, mitigation, and how intellectual assets create value and can be best protected through cyber, legal agreements, physical access and other measures.

Winning the war for Scaleups - how to attract and retain them


Scaleups are more than just an engine for innovation, these businesses hire highly skilled workers, raise Europe’s productivity, and champion our values across the world. Keeping our scaleups in Sweden is an opportunity to produce home-grown tech giants, contributing to long-term market growth and prosperity.

The people making innovation happen

In 2015, the Sustainable Development Goals gave us a comprehensive plan for a sustainable world by 2030. The 17 goals cover a wide range of issues that involve people with different needs, values, and convictions. There is a vision of what needs to happen but progress is slow. The Inner Development Goals aim to provide a framework to help individuals and organisations become more effective in the work towards greater sustainability and well-being.
