In the far north of Sweden, resilience, innovation, and collaboration are reshaping what’s possible. Demo North Summit 2026 is where leaders from business, government, and academia connect to explore how public–private partnerships, local ecosystems, and global talent are powering the industries and societies of tomorrow.
This isn’t the edge of Europe – it’s the new center of sustainable growth and resilience. Since its inception in 2019, Demo North has evolved from a regional initiative into an international platform for dialogue, collaboration, and demonstration. What began as a way to showcase the North’s industrial transformation has grown into a movement — connecting visionary leaders, innovative companies, and forward-thinking communities across sectors.
Over the years, Demo North has highlighted the unique capacity of northern Sweden to turn ambition into action. From showcasing the first fossil-free steel initiatives to exploring new energy systems, testbeds, and circular solutions, each edition has expanded the understanding of how local collaboration can create global impact.
In 2026, Demo North enters a new chapter — one defined by resilience. The summit will explore how defense readiness, material innovation, food systems, and social infrastructure together build stronger, future-proof societies. Through keynotes, panels, and hands-on experiences across Norrbotten, participants will gain access to the places, people, and partnerships driving one of Europe’s most dynamic regions forward.
