In a world defined by complexity, resilience is built together. The most transformative solutions emerge where organisations, industries, and countries combine strengths.
Can a coalition of Dutch entrepreneurs and a Swedish corporate unlock the key to sustainable AI infrastructure? What does one of the world’s largest airports have in common with a Scandinavian bakery? And how are new coalitions in the energy sector breaking through long-standing deadlocks?
Building Ecosystems for Impact is an action-oriented event that moves beyond buzzwords and theory. Through real cases and open dialogue, we explore how organisations across sectors and borders are building coalitions to address complex challenges.
In an increasingly interconnected world, resilience is rarely created by a single organisation. It emerges from ecosystems where companies, institutions, and innovators combine their strengths. This event brings together decision makers and innovators from Sweden and the Netherlands to explore how collaboration across ecosystems can transform shared challenges into concrete opportunities for impact.
Participants will hear practical examples of how corporates, start-ups, investors, academia, and government are working together to accelerate innovation in areas such as AI and digital infrastructure, the energy transition, and critical infrastructure. The ambition is to move from inspiration to action, creating space for meaningful dialogue and identifying new opportunities for collaboration.
Hosted by the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in partnership with nlmtd, the event convenes leaders who believe that resilience and innovation are built together.
This event is designed for:
- Senior leaders and innovation professionals from corporates and government agencies who are shaping transformation and long-term growth.
- Founders, executives, and technology providers from start-ups and scale-ups seeking strategic partnerships and access to new markets.
- Investors and venture leaders interested in emerging opportunities within AI, digital infrastructure, and the energy transition.
- Researchers, academics, and innovation specialists from institutions and knowledge centres looking to connect their expertise with industry and real-world challenges.

- Insights from real-world collaborations showing how cross-sector innovation creates tangible impact.
