Dennis Dahlgren, Senior Editor at Evertiq and one of the most recognised Nordic voices in technology journalism, will open the conference with a one-on-one conversation featuring a distinguished industry expert. Without revealing the guest in advance, this session will provide a forward-looking exploration of the trends and dynamics shaping the electronics ecosystem across the Nordic region — a market known for its strong innovation culture, early technology adoption and globally influential engineering mindset.

Drawing on years of reporting across Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark, Dennis will guide the discussion through the signals emerging from Nordic industry: from the rise of specialised semiconductor activity, to system-level innovation, supply-chain resilience, defence-tech transformation and the region’s unique approach to sustainability in electronics manufacturing.

This conversation is designed to offer participants a concise yet strategic insight into how Nordic industry leaders interpret current global shifts, and how their decisions, priorities and technological directions may influence the European electronics landscape in 2026 and beyond.

Claus Aasholm, founder of Semiconductor Business Intelligence and a seasoned semiconductor strategist, will join Evertiq Expo to deliver a fact-based examination of the global semiconductor industry.

Known for his precise analytical approach and proprietary data models, Claus focuses on the metrics that truly define the market: capacity expansion, capital investments, supply chain shifts, labour dynamics, regional policy effects and real utilisation patterns across the value chain.

Rather than repeating industry narratives, he examines the underlying data that reveals structural change, exposes real areas of growth and challenges assumptions often repeated in corporate and policy environments. His analysis is designed to bring clarity to a sector shaped by geopolitical intervention, significant capital deployment and rising technological requirements.
