Greetings Data Innovation Summit fans,
The Data Innovation Summit in Stockholm is buzzing with excitement as we bring you the latest updates from this week’s stellar lineup. Let’s dive straight into the noteworthy sessions and speakers across various stages.
Future Outlook Distinguished Speaker Announced
Traditionally, we are thrilled to announce that this year’s distinguished Opening Dialogue guest will be Erik Slottner, Sweden’s Minister for Public Administration, who will join Kye Andersson for a special Future Outlook session. As a key figure in Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson’s cabinet since 2022, Slottner has been instrumental in shaping policies around digitalization, public procurement, and governance. With a political career spanning leadership roles in the Young Christian Democrats and as Deputy Mayor of Stockholm, he brings deep expertise in public administration. This session will explore the evolving role of digital policy and governance, setting the stage for an insightful discussion on the future of data-driven decision-making.
