Networking Activities with senior decision-makers
This year, we are placing a strong focus on themed networking activities, including breakfasts, lunches and dinners, while continuing to develop our networking app with meeting-booking functionality. These exclusive opportunities allow you to meet the right people, discuss specific topics and build valuable connections with key international and national players.
Extended networking until 8:30 PM
Based on your feedback, we have extended the final networking session this year. From 5:00–7:00 PM, join us for drinks and light refreshments. From 7:00–8:30 PM, the networking continues with more substantial food and livelier music. Plan your journey home around the new schedule to make the most of the opportunity to build connections and close those final deals.
Level 4 and 5
Those who have already looked at the floor plan will have noticed that this year’s Business Arena will take place across just two levels: 4 and 5. The main exhibition area on Level 4 will be the hub for networking, with plenty of activity around your lounges.
New stages
From the Main Stage, where you can hear from our leading international speakers, to current urban development projects on the Urban Development Stage and heated discussions on the Debate Stage. Our tip: star your favourite sessions directly in the app to create your own personalised schedule for the day.

The networking activities are exclusively for our partners and consist of moderated roundtable discussions in smaller groups. During Business Arena Stockholm, six different networking activities will take place, each focusing on a specific topic.

Each activity begins with a networking session, followed by an introduction to the topic from one of our Main Stage speakers, who will provide a common starting point for the discussion. The roundtable discussion then takes place, followed by another networking session.

No preparation is required in advance. The focus is on an open exchange of experiences, gaining new perspectives and building valuable connections.
