Session 1| Capital Markets & Banking
Financial systems today sit at the core of Europe’s capacity to finance transformation, absorb shocks and
allocate capital toward long-term strategic priorities. In an environment shaped by monetary realignment,
fiscal constraints and shifting investor expectations, the role of banks and capital markets is being
fundamentally re-examined. This session brings together leading voices from central banking and financial
institutions to discuss the evolving architecture of European financial stability, the balance between
regulation and competitiveness, and the mechanisms required to ensure that capital flows effectively toward
productive investment and sustainable growth. Attention will be given to the interplay between
macroeconomic governance and financial sector resilience in an increasingly complex global context.

Session 2 | Defence, Security & Dual-Use Innovation
The contours of economic strength, technological leadership and national security are becoming increasingly interconnected. As geopolitical competition intensifies and emerging technologies reshape the global landscape, governments and industries alike are reassessing how resilience, innovation and strategic capability can be cultivated in an era defined by complexity and uncertainty. Against this backdrop, defence and dual-use innovation have moved beyond their traditional domains to become catalysts for industrial transformation, advanced manufacturing, digital infrastructure and long-term competitiveness. This session will examine how public institutions, industry leaders and innovation ecosystems can align strategic priorities with technological advancement, while fostering partnerships capable of generating both security outcomes and sustainable economic value. Through the lens of Greece–Sweden cooperation and broader European ambitions, the discussion will explore the frameworks, capabilities and investments required to navigate a rapidly evolving strategic environment.

Session 3 | Energy, Infrastructure & Industrial Transition
As Europe navigates a complex recalibration of its energy architecture and industrial base, the transition
toward cleaner, more efficient and technologically advanced systems has become a defining strategic
priority. Energy security, industrial competitiveness and decarbonization are no longer parallel agendas but
increasingly interdependent dimensions of the same transformation. This session brings together leading
actors from the energy and industrial ecosystem to explore how established infrastructure, refining capacity,
marine technologies and advanced engineering can adapt to a rapidly shifting global environment. The
discussion will focus on the reinvention of industrial value chains, the optimization of energy systems and
the role of next-generation technologies in enabling both environmental performance and long-term
competitiveness.

Session 4 | AI, Digitalisation & Productivity
Artificial intelligence and large-scale digital transformation are redefining the foundations of productivity,
operational efficiency and organizational design across all sectors of the economy. What was once viewed
as a technological evolution has now become a structural shift in how value is created, measured and scaled.
This session examines how digital intelligence, data-driven decision-making and automation are reshaping
service industries and financial operations, while also challenging traditional models of workforce capability
and institutional agility. With a focus on practical implementation and systemic impact, the discussion will
explore how digital ambition can be translated into measurable productivity gains and long-term competitive
advantage.

Session 5| Swedish Design, Innovation & Sustainability
Good design enables a good life. This has been the guiding principle for modern Swedish design from the
era of “Swedish Grace”, to mid-century modern, broadly accessible flat-pack furniture, to today’s focus on
innovative and sustainable production practices. Beyond aesthetics, Swedish design functions as a driver of
engineering efficiency, product durability and manufacturing productivity; principles reflected in sectors
ranging from automotive and industrial components to consumer goods and hospitality.
