Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan

The US pours in endless venture capital and China has endless data. In Europe, we build regulations. Sweden will never win the AI war on the superpowers' terms. But what if our limitations are our greatest strength? How do we secure Swedish competitiveness by playing a completely different game?

Utökad information om evenemanget

Panel discussion, morning coffee & a classic Swedish breakfast sandwich ("frukostmacka"). While tech giants burn billions on supercomputers, AI is rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship. Today, a team of 1-3 people in Visby or Malmö, backed by AI agents, can do what used to take 500 employees in Silicon Valley. We call them "Small Giants" – extremely capital-lean, resourceful companies that outmaneuver the giants through speed and creativity, rather than brute force. We throw the old VC-hungry "unicorn" model in the trash to discuss how Swedish entrepreneurs can build global companies from day one. In the panel we discuss: • Why Europe's AI strategy often misses the mark. • From Unicorn to Small Giant: Lowering the barrier to building global companies. • AI-native ways of working: How agents crush resource-rich competitors. • What Sweden's government and ecosystem must do now to accelerate these Small Giants.
