Culture Is the New Currency: From Commerce to Community
This session breaks down why culture is the new currency — and how brands move from transactions to belonging by building real cultural capital.
We explore the shift from consumer to creator, why fandom beats funnels, and how community-driven growth is rewriting the retail playbook for brands that want loyalty, relevance, and lasting impact.

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.
