Executive Forum: Playing Offense in an Age of Disruption
Where are leading CEOs placing their bets—and what might they be seeing that others are missing?
Join us for our next Executive Forum roundtable exploring how business leaders are turning disruption into competitive advantage.
The conversation will draw on The CEO Agenda 2026, Oliver Wyman Forum's survey of 415 CEOs conducted with the New York Stock Exchange. Two findings stand out: 65% of CEOs see volatility as an opportunity to outmaneuver competitors, while half of CEO planning time now focuses on horizons of less than a year.
Andrew Wiseman, Partner, and Denise van Wijk, Principal, at Oliver Wyman will share key findings before opening the discussion to the room.
Together, we will explore:
Where are leading CEOs placing their strategic bets?
How are business and leadership priorities shifting?
What does it take to turn uncertainty into competitive advantage?
Beyond the research findings, this is an opportunity to compare perspectives, challenge assumptions, and exchange ideas in a candid discussion with peers.

The Antibiotic Paradox: Use Less, Prepare More
In recognition of World AMR Awareness Week, we are hosting a panel discussion on antimicrobial resistance in collaboration with The Stockholm Project.
AMR is an accelerating threat to health, business and resilience, and deserves increased actions and transatlantic cooperation.
The discussion will focus on the need to fight the treat of AMR and the challenge of securing reliable access to effective antibiotics, while using them as sparingly as possible. It will also cover how to strengthen antibiotic preparedness and how cooperation between Sweden, Europe and the United States can strengthen the response to the growing risks of AMR. It will draw on lessons from the war in Ukraine about the importance of AMR surveillance, prevention and international cooperation in times of crisis. Panelists will also discuss what businesses, governments, healthcare systems, and the civil society need to do together.
Access to effective antibiotics is part of critical societal infrastructure. Antibiotics make surgery, intensive care, transplantation, cancer treatment and the safe management of ordinary infections possible. In a crisis or in wartime, they are just as essential to treating the wounded and keeping healthcare running. That makes antibiotic preparedness a question of national resilience and total defense, as well as public health. Preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics, requires increased international cooperation across healthcare, governments and industry, with implications for innovation, financing of the R&D of new antibiotics, supply security and long-term preparedness.
The panel includes Jenny Hellman, Head of the Preparedness Pharmaceuticals and Logistics Unit at the Public Health Agency of Sweden; Anna Sjöblom, Director of ReAct Europe an independent global network founded in 2005 that works on antibiotic resistance; and Jonas Fuks, Access & Value and Pricing Senior Manager at Pfizer and engaged in PLATINEA, the Swedish platform for improved access to antibiotics.
Because combating AMR and building resilient biomedical supply chains are recognized as shared priorities under the U.S.–Sweden Technology Prosperity Deal, this panel is a key part of AmCham Sweden’s ongoing work to support the agreement's implementation.

Fireside Chat: Turn Intelligence into your Competitive Advantage
Fireside Chat: Turn Intelligence into your Competitive Advantage
The British-Swedish Chamber of Commerce and the American Chamber of Commerce in Sweden are pleased to invite you to a fireside chat with Anna Felländer and Anik Bose, co-authors of the upcoming book The Real AI Disruption Is Not the Technology – It Is the Operating Model. The conversation will be moderated by Ian Richardson, Director of Executive Education at Stockholm Business School, Stockholm University, and co-founder of the national program AI for Executives.
Many organizations are still approaching AI as a technology or IT deployment, focusing on tools, pilots and copilots. But the bigger shift may be how organizations rethink the way work is done, how value is created and how businesses are structured around their new strategic resource: intelligence.
During the conversation, Anna Felländer and Anik Bose will discuss what it means to become AI-native, including how organizations can identify where AI can drive revenue, productivity and competitive advantage, redesign workflows around humans and intelligent systems, and manage AI agents as a new form of digital labor.
The discussion will also explore the economics of AI, the importance of flexible technology architecture, and how organizations can maintain strategic choice and sovereignty as dependence on AI providers, platforms and infrastructure grows.
Join us for a conversation on moving from AI experimentation to AI-native execution, and what this means for the future of business.

The Audacity Advantage: Shaping Culture & Driving Innovation with EY Doberman
Playing it safe might be the riskiest strategy of all.
When technology, policy and human expectations are changing faster than organizations can plan for them, optimization alone won’t keep you relevant.
The organizations that continue to shape their industries have something else in common: audacity. The ability to challenge what works, act before every answer is known, and create space for ideas that can change the trajectory of a business.
On September 9, EY Doberman Senior Directors Anna and Cornelia will share five provocations on what it takes to build an audacious organization — drawn from A Journal on Audacity, where they explored the topic with leaders, thinkers and changemakers from around the world, and from 25+ years of helping organizations create what comes next.
Then they’ll turn the conversation over to the room, exploring what audacity means in practice for leadership, culture and innovation.
Come for breakfast. Leave with new perspectives, a few uncomfortable questions, and ideas worth taking back to your organization.
Cornelia:
Cornelia has spent more than 15 years helping organizations turn business ambition into stronger brands, meaningful experiences and new opportunities for growth. Bringing people together to move from strategy to action.
Anna:
Anna has spent more than 20 years helping organizations find the courage and capability to create what comes next - turning customer insight and bold ambition into shared direction, meaningful experiences, and lasting change.

AmCham Annual General Meeting & Transatlantic Summit 2026
Welcome to the 2026 Annual General Meeting and Transatlantic Summit!
The transatlantic economy remains the world’s largest and most consequential commercial relationship. Valued at $9.8 trillion, it is powered by deep ties across trade, investment, jobs, innovation, digital commerce, energy, and supply chains.
For Sweden, the U.S. commercial relationship is a major source of trade, investment, and employment. In U.S.-Sweden trade and investment, that means $216 billion and +400,000 jobs. What is more, Sweden is the 9th-largest source of foreign direct investment in the United States and the 4th-fastest-growing source.
Today, as companies navigate geopolitical tensions, trade friction, AI, energy pressures, security challenges, and shifting supply chains, these deep U.S.–Swedish and transatlantic ties are more important than ever. They are a strategic advantage to strengthen — not a burden to retreat from.
This year’s Transatlantic Summit will feature insights from The Transatlantic Economy 2026 and a discussion on the trends shaping the U.S.–Swedish and U.S.–European economic relationship in a more competitive and disruptive world.

From Awareness to Action: Building Inclusive Teams That Retain Talent
In today’s increasingly diverse workplaces, retaining top talent requires more than good intentions: it demands cultural awareness, inclusive leadership, and deliberate action. This interactive session, led by Karolina Sveiby, Berlitz’s Country Manager of Instruction for Finland and Norway, explores how organizations can move from understanding cultural differences to actively leveraging them to build high-performing, engaged teams.
Karolina is an experienced pedagogue and team leader with solid expertise in training and communication. With more than 25 years of experience in the educational and creative fields, Karolina's areas of expertise include: management of international teams, teaching and training & learning and development. Currently Karolina leads an international team of teachers at the Berlitz Language and Culture School where she also organizes sought-after intercultural trainings for business.
Join us in examining how deeply held values, assumptions, and unconscious biases influence everyday decisions, communication styles, and leadership behaviors. Through practical examples and reflection, the program highlights how reframing our “cultural lenses” can improve collaboration, strengthen trust, and create environments where people feel valued and motivated to stay.
Welcome!
