The DIS 2026 (DIS2026x1) edition marks the most significant strategic shift, transforming the event into the definitive blueprint for the next decade of AI value creation by embracing the theme, “From Technology-First to Business-First Innovation.” This strategic pivot is formalized by expanding the Stockholm summit to three full days, with the addition of the critical Industry Day (Day 3) and the new focus on Sovereignty and Security (M7 Stage). By moving past foundational discussions toward demonstrable business impact and enterprise transformation, DIS 2026 is explicitly designed to equip organizations to overcome the challenge of scaling AI beyond pilots, ensuring that investments in platforms, models, and governance truly translate into sustained value across every sector.
