How we build a robust infrastructure for the technology of tomorrow – the mission and role of PTS

The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority (PTS) is facing major changes. The agency is set to merge with the Agency for Digital Government (Digg), with the aim of accelerating Sweden’s digitalisation and strengthening the resilience of its digital infrastructure. New cybersecurity legislation is also in place to meet the requirements of the EU’s new directives, while the debate on greater digital sovereignty has intensified—driven by concerns about dependence on global tech giants.

How should Sweden prepare for accelerating technological development and the potential AI brings to the telecom and communications industry? What role do authorities such as PTS play as a regulatory force? How will the EU AI Act affect the telecom sector? And how do we ensure the ability to share data, modernise infrastructure, safeguard national security, and establish ethical guidelines - so we can build a sustainable and competitive digital future?
