Come Together or Go Home: Why No One Wins Alone in the New Era

This session explores why radical collaboration is no longer a "nice-to-have", it is the only way to survive in the rapidly evolving global mobility landscape. Silicon Valley has the software and Shenzhen has the scale, but Sweden has the unique potential to lead through a seamless, integrated ecosystem.

Learn how to bridge the gap between agile startups and industrial giants. We will discuss the strategic importance of building "collision spaces" where technology, capital, and infrastructure meet to accelerate the transition to a sustainable, connected future.

We’ll share practical insights on how to activate a hub. You will hear from the architects of these ecosystems and the founders navigating them.

You will leave with a clearer understanding of how to position your organisation within the Swedish mobility map and a framework for leveraging collective innovation to outpace international competition.

What You’ll Discover

• The Ecosystem Mandate: Securing long-term leadership by co-creating the future of movement through strategic cross-industry partnerships.

• The Power of Proximity: How physical hubs and innovation platforms like Näst and GoCo turn "collaboration" into measurable ROI.

• Deep-Tech Integration: How deep-tech startups are the missing link in the automotive value chain.

Who should attend?

• Automotive Executives & Tier-1 Suppliers looking to modernise their innovation pipelines.

• Mobility Founders & Scale-up CEOs seeking to understand how to partner with industrial giants.

• Investors & VCs interested in the next frontier of Swedish deep-tech and transport infrastructure.
