We’re excited to announce the theme, dates, and first speakers for Nordic Business Forum 2027!
Nordic Business Forum 2027 will take place on 22–23 September 2027 in Helsinki, Finland. The theme for next year’s event is Clarity—an exploration of how leaders can build trust, sharpen focus, and turn clear direction into meaningful action.
“We live in a world of unlimited information, accelerating AI, and constant disruption. Intelligence is everywhere, but clarity is rare. The challenge for business leaders is no longer how to access more knowledge. We need clarity—clarity about what matters, clarity about where we are going, and clarity that gives people the confidence to move”, says Priit Liiv, the CEO of Nordic Business Forum.
At Nordic Business Forum 2027, we’ll explore how some of the world’s most influential leaders create clarity through three essential capabilities: Trust, Focus, and Execution.
- Trust is about building credibility, connection, and common ground—even when people see the world differently.
- Focus is about cutting through distraction and complexity to concentrate attention on what truly matters.
- Execution is about turning clear direction into aligned action, sustained performance, and meaningful results.
From trust and human connection to productivity, marketing, economics, and leadership, the 2027 program will bring together diverse perspectives on what it takes to see clearly and lead decisively in an increasingly complex world.
