Tylösand Summit
Since 1948, SNS has annually brought together leaders from Sweden's largest companies, government agencies, and organizations, along with researchers and politicians, for a one-day conference in Tylösand. The conference is aimed at senior management within SNS member organizations, as well as specially invited guests. Throughout the day, participants gain access to world-leading expertise on issues shaping societal development and exchange ideas in an informal setting.
This year, leading voices gathered around the theme Democracy under Pressure, addressing how democracies worldwide are under pressure and how the rules-based world order is being reshaped.
Information about the 2027 Tylösand Summit will be published here in due course.
