We are also presenting a strong editorial main stage featuring both global and local perspectives connected to Swedish business and industry. In addition, we are launching new stages where partners can highlight key topics and actively contribute to driving the industry conversation forward. Don’t miss the opportunity to be part of Business Arena’s next chapter. Warm welcome!

The wheel was invented around 3500 BC. Yet it took more than 3,000 years before wheeled vehicles were used in Sweden. People had time to gradually adapt to technological progress. Today, the situation looks very different. Technology is transforming our lives at an exponential pace, while we simultaneously face climate change, geopolitical instability, and energy-related challenges. How do we, as humans, cope with the speed of this change and the uncertainty it brings? And what kind of leadership is required—both in business and in society at large? Thimon de Jong, behavioral expert and author, helps leaders and organizations understand what people will do next—and what that practically means for them today. He is a highly sought-after international speaker and has been ranked “best speaker” at more than 100 business conferences and leadership programs. At Business Arena Syd, you can expect an engaging and interactive opening keynote, packed with practical, research-based insights.
