Keys to Intelligent Industry

In this special summer edition of Keys to Intelligent Industry, host Caroline Segerstéen Runervik is joined by Åsa Zetterberg, CEO of TechSverige, as well as guest-host Ann Hellenius, Head of Capgemini Invent Sweden and Head of MU Defence, Public Services and Energy & Utilities Capgemini Sweden, to reflect on the key technology discussions from Almedalen. The conversation explores how AI has moved beyond experimentation and is now reshaping business models, public services, and industrial competitiveness.

The guests discuss Sweden’s strengths as a leading innovation nation, highlighting the importance of talent, trust, collaboration, and a thriving tech ecosystem. They emphasize the need for Europe to simplify regulations, strengthen its single market, and attract more capital and talent to help companies scale globally.

The episode also examines digital sovereignty, leadership in times of rapid change, and the organizational transformation required to realize AI’s full potential. Rather than technology being the main challenge, success increasingly depends on leadership, skills, and creating psychological safety for employees.
