We are pleased to invite you to the Nordic Summit 2024, held from September 5th to 7th at Vår Gård in Saltsjöbaden, Stockholm.
This summit will bring together Nordic owner families for an exclusive exploration of ”Families for the Future”, offering a platform to share insights, stories, and strategies in a confidential setting. Surrounded by peaceful nature and cultural-historical architecture, Vår Gård provides the perfect setting for our gathering.
Topics to be covered include:
- How the Nordic nature has shaped unique strategies of ownership, resilience and stewardship.
- How Nordic owner families position themselves and their enterprises for the future
- How Nordic Next Gen is shaping our future
- How the role of owners is upholding principles of freedom of speech and democracy
- How Nordic families balance tradition and innovation
But most importantly, we offer a chance for you as a family and as an individual to meet others in the same situation, learn from each other and make friends for life!
We look forward to welcoming you to the Nordic Summit 2024 for enriching discussions, connections, and memories. Let’s create the magic of family business together!
