The Angel Prize Summit: A Visionary Gathering for the Nordics
On October 15, 2025, Stockholm will become the epicenter of innovation and collaboration with the
Angel Prize Summit. This exclusive event will bring together
300 of the most prominent figures in the Nordic region, including influential investors, visionary founders, key policymakers, and corporate leaders. This summit, organized by
Nordic Angels, aims to address one pivotal question:
How can the Nordics remain competitive amid rapid global transformation?
The world is witnessing revolutionary changes, from breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) to shifts in energy dependence, geopolitical tensions, and changes in demographics. The Nordic countries, known for their high standard of living and progressive policies, find themselves at a crossroads as their economies face unprecedented challenges and opportunities.
Despite the innate talent
and resources present in the region, responses to these challenges have often been scattered, creating silos in innovation, investment, and policy-making. The Angel Prize Summit
seeks to break down these barriers and align leaders on critical issues concerning the future of the Nordic economies.
Addressing Four Critical Pillars
During this exclusive gathering, participants will focus on four key areas essential for the Nordics’ future:
1. AI Technology
: Leaders will explore how to maintain a competitive edge in technology amidst a landscape dominated by global superpowers. The push for innovation in AI is paramount as the world transitions into an increasingly digital age.
2. Energy Infrastructure
: As the region moves toward sustainable energy solutions, discussions will revolve around building resilience amid scarcity and transition. Strategies for modernizing energy infrastructure will be a hot topic.
3. Capital Competitiveness
: Ensuring the Nordics remain a magnet for talent and investment is essential for ongoing growth. This involves crafting policies that attract both human capital and financial resources.
4. Societal Resilience*
: Addressing demographic shifts, global instability, and potential security risks will be crucial for future stability. Preparing societal structures to withstand and adapt to these changes will be a priority.
Voices of the Future
Ash Pournouri, Co-founder and Chairman of Nordic Angels, emphasizes the need for urgency and collaboration, saying, “The Nordics have the talent and resources to lead globally. But unless we move faster and act together, we risk falling much further behind.”
This underscores the collective responsibility that leaders within the region must adopt in shaping a robust future.
Meanwhile, Andreas Grape, Co-founder and CEO of Nordic Angels, notes, “This is where the people who actually shape the future of this region will speak openly, make decisions, and align on actions. If you’re not in the ‘room,’ you risk not being part of that future.”* His comments capture the essence of the summit—the necessity for open dialogue and collaborative policymaking.
Invitation Only
The
Angel Prize Summit operates under an invitation-only model to foster candid discussions among influential leaders. This ensures that sensitive topics and strategic decisions can be addressed without external pressures.
