The Summit 202620 March - 20 March 2026

An annual gathering exploring the possible futures of emerging technologies. The Summit is a Nordic gathering for leaders, innovators, and forward-thinking organisations who want to explore the futures of emerging technologies and understand their profound impact on business, society, and organisational readiness. It serves as a meeting point for those who not only wish to follow developments in artificial intelligence, immersive experiences, and emerging technologies, but also want to shape how these forces influence the way we work, make decisions, and build future ecosystems. ‍ Hosted by the Confederation of Danish Industry (DI) and curated by the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (CIFS), the conference focuses on foresight, technologies, preparedness, and futures-driven innovation. Through keynotes, panel discussions and focused dialogues, we examine both opportunity and risk, asking how innovation can be aligned with responsibility and long-term value creation. ‍ The Summit focuses on what lies ahead: Possible futures, strategic choices, and the readiness it takes to act responsibly as technologies evolve. It is not only about trends and tools, but about strategic foresight - identifying possible futures, and understanding the readiness it takes to act wisely and courageously as technologies continue to evolve.

The 2026 edition takes place in Copenhagen on 20 March 2026 (09:00–18:00 CET) at H. C. Andersens Blvd. 18, 1553 København - Industriens Hus. Themes include the AI-mediated workplace, leadership in the future, emerging technologies (including AI agents, simulations and humanoids), the future consumer, retail in transformation, and the futures of foresight.

The Summit is a Nordic gathering for leaders, innovators, and forward-thinking organisations exploring the futures of emerging technologies and their impact on business, society, and organisational readiness. Co-hosted by Danish Industry (DI) and curated by the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies (CIFS), the conference brings together keynotes, Nordic cases, and conversations on preparedness and responsible, meaningful action.
