Sweden–Singapore AI Outlook Days

From dialogue to deployment: advancing bilateral AI collaboration

Artificial intelligence is reshaping economies, institutions, and industries at pace. For small, advanced, and export-driven economies like Sweden and Singapore, this shift raises a shared set of strategic questions – how to deploy AI competitively while ensuring it remains trustworthy, and how to balance global openness with national capability. Building on the 2025 Sweden–Singapore AI Symposium at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the 2026 Outlook Days mark a shift from broad exploration to targeted exchange. The focus is on areas where both nations see the greatest urgency: AI in society and public services, education and workforce transformation, resilience and health. The platform brings together senior researchers, business leaders, and policymakers ready to move from conversation to concrete collaboration.

Why Singapore?

Singapore is deploying AI at scale. A decade of consistent government investment, a National AI Council chaired by the Prime Minister, and Budget 2026 priorities that create concrete entry points for bilateral collaboration make this a well-timed moment for Swedish academia, industry, and policymakers to engage.

Why Sweden?

Sweden combines world-leading digitalization with strong industrial ecosystems in telecommunications, manufacturing, mobility, energy, and public-sector innovation. Swedish strengths in AI for health, education, and societal resilience – developed through close collaboration between academia, industry, and government – reflect a model of trustworthy AI deployment that is both scalable and human-centred. High societal trust and advanced digital infrastructure create strong conditions for developing safety-critical AI at scale.

Three Coordinated Pillars

The Outlook Days are built around three interconnected pillars, each addressing a critical dimension of AI advancement – and all anchored in shared priorities around society, education, resilience, and health:

          • Research – advancing AI innovation, talent, and future capabilities
