We’ve hit an incredible milestone: 7,000 tickets sold for Nordic Business Forum 2026! The excitement around the event has been absolutely overwhelming, and we are truly grateful for our community’s trust in the event so early on.
Nordic Business Forum 2026, the leading business conference in Europe, will take place on September 16–17, 2026, at Messukeskus in Helsinki, where we’ll dive deep into the relevant theme of The Human Edge. As the world races ahead with AI and automation, we’re pausing to explore the human strengths that still give us the ultimate competitive advantage. We’ll especially focus on performance, decision-making, and collaboration.
Already, an extraordinary speaker lineup is shaping up:

- Angela Duckworth – Author of Grit, Professor at UPenn
- Paul Polman – Former CEO of Unilever, Co-author of Net Positive

- Kjell A. Nordström – Economist, Business Strategist
- … and a few more speaker announcements are still to come!
“Seeing over 7,000 leaders sign up this early shows how strongly the human side of leadership resonates in a world of AI and automation. It’s a huge encouragement, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to Helsinki”, says Priit Liiv, CEO of Nordic Business Forum.
This event discovers the power of people working with people. With world-class thinkers and doers on stage, NBF 2026 is where personal growth turns into collective success.
