Day 1 sets the scene. Day 2 takes you there.

On September 23, Demo North moves beyond the conference room and into the heart of Northern Sweden’s industrial transformation.

Join us in Boden to see the transformation first-hand, meet the people driving it and explore the business and investment opportunities taking shape.

The day combines conversations on growth, security, resilience and industrial development with a guided tour – including a stop at the Stegra Viewing Tower overlooking the site.

Why join Demo North?

Demo North is designed for people who want to understand where Northern Sweden is heading – and be part of the conversations shaping what comes next.

Come to:

→ Understand the transformation – what’s happening, why it matters and where the opportunities are.
→ Meet the people behind it – connect across industries, organisations and sectors.
→ Experience it first-hand – go beyond presentations and visit the places where transformation is already underway.
→ Turn conversations into action – explore opportunities for collaboration, business and new partnerships.
