/ About this event

As the first EU country to sign a Technology Prosperity Deal (TPD) with the United States, Sweden has established a unique platform for deeper collaboration with the United States across the technologies that will shape future competitiveness.

Join us for an exclusive discussion on how the TPD can accelerate innovation, strengthen transatlantic partnerships, and unlock new commercial opportunities. Covering areas such as AI, connectivity, advanced manufacturing, energy, and next-generation infrastructure, the TPD creates a framework for collaboration at a pivotal moment for both countries.

We are bringing together the heavyweights at The Swedish House to break down the U.S.-Sweden Technology Prosperity Deal. This isn't just high-level policy talk; this is about tangible business outcomes, strategic partnerships, and massive investment opportunities.

If you are a founder, executive, or investor looking to build or scale across the Atlantic, you cannot afford to miss this.

The Powerhouse Panel:

Get ready for exclusive, first-hand insights from the leaders shaping the future:

Demi Bylon (Embassy of Sweden) - The Insider. As Cyber Attaché for Cyber and Digital Affairs and one of the key negotiators behind the deal, she is bringing the ground truth straight from the diplomatic frontlines.

Ali Khayrallah (Ericsson) - The Connectivity Titan. Representing a global powerhouse, he'll break down how next-gen infrastructure and telecommunications are paving the way for transatlantic scale.

Paul Lipman (Infleqtion) - The Deep Tech Pioneer. Pushing the boundaries of what's possible, he brings critical perspectives on how quantum and advanced tech will drive this international partnership.

Philip Rathle (Neo4j) - The Data Visionary. Representing Swedish-born tech royalty, he'll share how AI and deep data are shaping the future of enterprise software across borders.

Sean Randolph (Bay Area Council) - The Local Connector. The ultimate Bay Area economic authority. He knows exactly how international innovation plugs into the massive San Francisco economic engine.

The Swedish House during SF Tech Week gathers founders, VCs, corporates, and academia across and serves as a curated hub connecting Swedish and US companies through events, networking, and co‑working throughout the week.
