Youth Organizations in Debate: Who Has the Best Tech Policy for Sweden?

Sweden is heading toward an election amid rapid technological advancements, geopolitical uncertainty, and intensifying global competition. At the same time, AI and digitalization are fundamentally transforming society. How does the generation that will shape tomorrow’s politics view Sweden’s opportunities in the AI economy?

Following TechSverige’s political debate in Almedalen, we’re now continuing the conversation—this time with the youth organizations.

AI and digitalization are fundamentally transforming the world of work, business, and the public sector. What reforms are needed to strengthen innovation, entrepreneurship, the supply of skilled workers, and digital infrastructure? How can Sweden strengthen its competitiveness, security, and position in the global AI economy?

In this debate, the next generation of political leaders will engage in a lively discussion about direction, reforms, and pace. Who has the best tech policy to make Sweden tech-ready?
