TechSverige gathered the business community at the Nordic region's largest digital sustainability conference 

On September 11, the annual digologa conference "A Sustainable Tomorrow" with the theme "Dissonance". TechSweden, in collaboration with Swecohosted a hub in Stockholm and gathered around fifty participants from the the tech industry, the rest of the business community and the public sector to discuss the gap between what we know needs to be done and what we actually do to achieve the SDGs. The conference attracted a total of 30,000 participants via 200 different hubs around Sweden, Norway and Finland.

The conference was streamed from Clarion Hotel & Congress Sea U with Catarina Rolfsdotter-Jansson as host. Speakers included Kata Nylén, who discussed dissonance as a force for change, Andreas Magnusson highlighted the role of young people in the climate transition, and Gurgîn Bakircioglu shared his experience of a minimalist lifestyle. Climate psychologist John Jamir Benzon Aruta spoke about climate justice, while Maria Wolrath Söderberg addressed how we deal with climate-related dissonance as humans. As every year, Fredrik Reinfeldt gave an appreciated global analysis, and this year's A Sustainable Prize was awarded to Nicolas Lunabba for his work on social sustainability in vulnerable areas.

- A Sustainable Tomorrow once again succeeds in creating a program that speaks to different audiences but is equally interesting to all. It is a fantastic annual opportunity to raise your gaze and get an overview of the world, while at the same time you get the opportunity to meet like-minded people and ventilate challenges and opportunities in our common transition, says Frida Faxborn, industry policy expert at TechSverige. 

Kristofer Sjöholm, Sustainability Manager Digital Services at Sweco participated on site:  

- Rhetorician and researcher Maria Wolrath Söderberg at Södertörn University gave a fantastically inspiring speech about the need for an individual stand. The importance of everyone using their own position and power both privately and in our professional role and doing what we can to change. The transition does not only take place in the individual or in the system, the transition takes place in the glue that holds the whole society together, and if everyone does something, we can succeed together, was the message, says Kristofer Sjöholm.  

Among the participants was Camilla Cederquist, Manager Atea Sustainability Focus at Atea, who highlighted an important insight; 

- The world needs a new operating system. There was a lot of focus on the individual, but there are many who want to change who are thwarted by the fact that the world is built for other behaviors. We need to create the conditions for the sustainable choices to be the easiest and most natural ones.
