POWER IS BEING REWRITTEN
The rules changed. The summit asks who writes the next ones.
AI, capital, energy and geopolitics are shifting at once, and at a pace few leaders have seen before. Those shifts are changing how economies compete, where value gets created and which companies will lead next.
On April 9, the Nordic-US Leadership Summit brings decision-makers, founders and policy leaders from both sides of the Atlantic into one room, to look at where the Nordics and the U.S. stand and what they gain by acting together.
ON THE AGENDA
The New Geopolitical Reality
01
How shifting alliances and economic security are redrawing the transatlantic relationship.
The New Economic Order
02
Where the balance of economic power is moving, and who stands to gain.
The AI Power Shift
03
Who leads the AI race, and what is at stake for those who fall behind.
The Race for Energy
04
Why secure supply is becoming the deciding competitive advantage.
The Human Edge
05
What leaders bring to the table when machines can do almost everything else.
Power belongs to those in the room.
One morning, one room, and the questions that will define the next decade.
