Världen 2026
Make sure to reserve your spot at the most important future conference of the year in the Winter Garden at the Grand Hôtel as we kick off 2026.
We are entering a new world order with far-reaching consequences for security, trade, and politics. New alliances are emerging while the war in Europe remains unresolved. At the same time, the green transition must push ahead, AI starts to have a real impact on jobs, and competition over critical minerals, new materials, and breakthrough technologies—such as gene editing, humanoid robotics, and new space missions—is intensifying.
In Sweden, national elections add another piece to the global puzzle that affects us all.
At Världen 2026, experts, business leaders, and analysts come together to deliver insights on the greatest challenges—and opportunities—shaping 2026.
On January 15th Tom Standage, deputy editor of The Economist and editor of The World Ahead 2026, will share his predictions for the year ahead.
We will map the most disruptive trends and questions for 2026 within:
- Geopolitics
- Business & Finance
- Science & Technology
- Lifestyle & Culture
Lif at Världen 2026
Lif’s CEO, Sofia Wallström, will take part in the Business & Finance segment in the session “Fireside Chat – Competing for Investments, Talent, and a Climate Where Innovation Thrives (with Alasdair Ross)” in a conversation on how regions and companies in Sweden and Europe are creating the conditions to attract capital, top talent, and foster an environment where innovation can flourish.
