Welcome!
Opening remarks from the team at Gothenburg Tech Week!
Sweden's Next AI Move
Sweden already has several structural advantages, industrial capability, digital maturity, strong research, public-sector data, clean energy and credible AI institutions but leadership will depend on turning them into faster adoption, investment, computing capacity, skills and clear rules.
Leading Through the AI Shift
AI-ready organisations are not built through technology alone. They need people who are curious enough to experiment, leaders who provide direction and confidence, and structures that turn early learning into new capabilities and ways of working across the organisation. The challenge is finding the right balance between bottom-up exploration and a systematic rollout that develops skills, reshapes roles and turns AI into lasting value.
Panel: The Real Cost of AI
AI tools may be easy to test, but their true cost becomes harder to predict as usage grows. Token-based pricing, multiple tools and models, integration, data infrastructure and human oversight can turn a promising pilot into a significant operational investment. Organisations need to understand the cost of the entire AI-enabled process, not simply the price of the tool, and determine where AI creates enough value to justify scaling it.
Panel: Powering the AI Economy
AI adoption will depend not only on models, data and skills, but on access to reliable and affordable electricity. As data centres, electrification and industry place growing demands on the grid, Sweden must decide how to expand capacity, shorten lead times and secure the energy needed for AI without weakening other parts of the economy. The question is not simply whether we can produce enough energy, but whether we can deliver it where it is needed, when it is needed and at a cost that keeps Sweden competitive.
The Blueprint Ahead
A look back at the key ideas from the morning and a guide to the afternoon ahead, from lunch and networking to case-driven Tech Blueprint sessions and expert roundtables.
Governing AI when the stakes are real
Lessons from Sweden's Payment Infrastructure
From Technology to Impact
Technology is more accessible than ever, but creating real-world impact remains difficult. It requires organisations to turn data into decisions, change behaviours and processes, and align people, systems and partners around shared outcomes. Lasting impact comes not from having the most advanced technology, but from applying and scaling it effectively across complex organisations and ecosystems. More details and speakers to be announced.
From Individual AI to Scalable Value
Technology has never been more accessible. As AI spreads, the challenge is shifting from access to creating value at scale.
At Logivity, individual experimentation quickly opened new possibilities. It also revealed a challenge familiar from transport logistics: optimising individual parts does not necessarily optimise the whole. Different AI tools and approaches can create local value while remaining difficult to connect and scale.
Logivity CEO Jessica Öhrblad and Johan Berntsson, Head of Technology & Innovation, share how they are moving from individual AI use towards a shared organisational capability, without losing the speed and creativity of experimentation.
Keynote: When Physical AI Transforms Industry
More details to come
Fireside: What Will It Take to Scale Physical AI?
Physical AI is moving intelligent systems beyond digital environments and into machines that operate in the real world. But scaling these systems across industry requires more than advanced robotics and powerful AI models. It depends on high-quality data, reliable performance, safety, infrastructure and the ability to integrate new capabilities into existing industrial environments. Susanne Timsjö and Daniel Langkilde explore what it will take to move Physical AI from promising applications to widespread industrial use.
Winner announcement: GTW x Chalmers Tech Blueprint Hackathon
