About some of the international guests

Many of the international guests present at the forum will be part of Impact Pioneers, a leadership program organized by the Swedish Institute in collaboration with Team Sweden and the Swedish ecosystem for entrepreneurship and innovation.

Through the 2026 Europe program, approximately 50 key individuals from the entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystems of nine countries across Eastern Europe and the Baltics are invited to engage in knowledge exchange with the Swedish ecosystem.

The long-term goal of the initiative is to strengthen the foundations and impact of entrepreneurship and innovation within the green transition. The exchange also contributes to developing Sweden’s global networks and creating synergies between Swedish development cooperation, promotion, and trade.
