    With deepened political cooperation, rapidly growing trade flows, and shared priorities in security, energy, innovation, and infrastructure, the relationship between Sweden and Poland has never been more important - or more full of potential.

    At the same time, Poland continues to stand out as one of Europe's fastest-growing and most resilient economies.

    This event explores the opportunities arising in this unique phase of Swedish-Polish cooperation.

    We will provide a clear roadmap for companies wishing to establish or expand their operations in Poland.

    Participants will gain a fundamental understanding of the regulatory, cultural, and strategic factors that are important for success in the Polish market.

    We will also explore the unique potential of collaboration with Polish technology transfer organizations representing over 100 universities and research institutes.

    Through this structured network, industrial challenges from Northern Sweden can be translated into targeted R&D initiatives and rapidly connected with relevant scientific teams, laboratories, and deep-tech spin-offs - accelerating the path from challenge to market-ready solutions.

    As Europe undergoes profound geopolitical and economic transformation, Sweden and Poland are moving closer at a pace few could have predicted.

    This growing alignment gains even more relevance when viewed through the transformation taking place in Northern Sweden.

    Northern Sweden - where this event will take place - is undergoing one of the most transformative economic shifts in Europe.

    The region is rapidly emerging as a hub for green industrialization, energy innovation, and technology‑driven entrepreneurship, powered by strong public–private collaboration.

    The current wave of industrial expansion spans battery production, hydrogen technologies, and large‑scale electrification - positioning the north as a strategic engine of Europe’s green transition.

    Northern Sweden also has one of the strongest innovation ecosystems in the Nordics, with universities, science parks, and testbeds accelerating the commercialization of new technologies, especially in energy, mining, materials, and digitalization.

    These developments open new avenues for Swedish‑Polish cooperation in energy, advanced manufacturing, sustainable technologies, and talent and innovation exchange.

    You are warmly invited to join us, gain insights into this momentum, and be part of what comes next.

    • Security by Design: Technologies Transforming Defence Readiness
    • Cybersecurity and Resilience: Protecting Digital Infrastructure
    • Dual‑Use Innovation: Transforming the European Ecosystem
    • DefenceTech and Cybersecurity: The Power of Cross‑Border Collaboration
