The summit for retail excellence in the Nordics

Clarion Hotel Malmö Live, Sverige

The Nordic Summit is a unique event where Tier 1 retailers from different industries in the Nordic region invite various stakeholders including suppliers, central banks, and retail associations to collaborate on shaping the future of retail.

The Nordic Summit 2026 is by invitation only, yet we also welcome companies to show their interest in participating or sponsoring.

Nordic Summit 2025 Recap

The Nordic Summit 2025 in Malmö brought together leading experts and innovators for two days of inspiring discussions on the future of retail and commerce.

 

Day 1 focused on major technology shifts transforming the retail sector, with companies sharing best practices on adapting to evolving consumer expectations and behaviors.

Day 2 explored the forces reshaping retail payments, from collaboration between retailers and central banks to the rise of digital wallets as hubs for loyalty and engagement. The summit concluded with a deep dive into one of today’s most pressing topics: maintaining consumer trust in the age of agentic commerce.

 

We left Malmö energized and inspired, with new insights and connections that will continue to shape the future of the industry.
