Opening session: New world order
Time: May 6, 2026, 10:00-10:45
Place: Main stage
Christina Bu and Mattias Goldmann will kick off the conference by talking about how electromobility is being reshaped by rapid technological advances, policy shifts, and a changing global order, and how these forces create stark differences in EV uptake worldwide.
Even in the Nordics, the contrast is striking: why is Norway accelerating ahead while Sweden is losing momentum?
Then, get ready to meet the renowned Ola Rosling, who will unveil the most persistent myths and misconceptions about electric vehicles and show where public perception strays furthest from reality. As President of the Gapminder Foundation, he creates powerful, accessible tools that cut through noise and misinformation. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see how fact‑based thinking can transform the EV debate and challenge everything you thought you knew.
