Global Power Shifts: Competing for the Nordic Consumer
Global retail is undergoing a dramatic transformation — shaped by new consumer behaviors, digital dominance, and the rise of international platforms redefining competition.
This three-part session explores how Nordic retailers can compete, adapt, and thrive in a market increasingly influenced by global power dynamics.
- From Dancing Queen to Super Trouper: How Amazon Rewrote Sweden’s Retail Playbook.
- Level Playing Field: Fair Competition in Global E-Commerce.
- Competing with Giants: Nordic Retail in the Age of Amazon, Temu & Shein.
Together, these three perspectives — business, strategy, and policy — paint a full picture of the new retail power map and what it will take for the Nordics to stay competitive in the global arena.
