6th Year of Engaging India @ Almedalen
Over the past few years, there has been an exponential rise in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) across domains and sectors, with both India and Sweden have seen substantial private and public investment in AI technologies. The adoption of such technologies are expected to mitigate some of the biggest challenges in scalability, accessibility, service delivery, and efficiency in growth. However, while the benefits of the application of AI models are distinct, the challenges are also significant. At Engaging India at Almedalen 2025, with the theme Samband for Climate: AI, Sustainability, and Next-Gen Innovation, we hear from thought leaders, dignitaries, and start-ups on how they are leveraging AI to drive real, lasting environmental change, while mitigating some of its biggest challenges. Join us on 24 June 2025 at E22 Almedalsbiblioteket, Uppsala University, Campus Gotland for keynote speeches, panel discussions, case-study presentations, and a start-up pitch session to see how India and Sweden are collaborating through innovation and a shared vision.
