The Summit 2026

Description

The Summit is a Nordic gathering for leaders, innovators, and forward-thinking organisations who want to explore the futures of emerging technologies and understand their profound impact on business, society, and organisational readiness. It serves as a meeting point for those who not only wish to follow developments in artificial intelligence, immersive experiences, and emerging technologies, but also want to shape how these forces influence the way we work, make decisions, and build future ecosystems.

Hosted by the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) and curated by the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (CIFS), the conference focuses on foresight, technologies, preparedness, and futures-driven innovation. Through keynotes, panel discussions and focused dialogues, we examine both opportunity and risk, asking how innovation can be aligned with responsibility and long-term value creation.

The Summit focuses on what lies ahead: Possible futures, strategic choices, and the readiness it takes to act responsibly as technologies evolve. It is not only about trends and tools, but about strategic foresight - identifying possible futures, and understanding the readiness it takes to act wisely and courageously as technologies continue to evolve.
