Digital Assets in Practice! – How to Navigate the Bold Horizons for Banks & Financial Institutions
Organizer: Crucible Bold Horizons, Nordic Blockchain Association, Blockchain Sweden, K33

Digital Assets are one of the fastest growing asset classes in the world. Global leading banks and finance institutions are increasing their product and service offerings to include crypto assets as regulations are coming into place (EU MiCA) combined with political shifts and new Government strategies – e.g. in the USA. Not only is the consumer market changing, but trade wars and other macro perspectives are also changing the mantra. However, there are also volatility and risks connected towards entering into this market. The uncertainty and lack of experience and competence are some of the reasons why Nordic Banks in general have not entered fully into this market. Join us for a roundtable sponsored by Crucible Bold Horizons. Led by Magnus Jones together with key leading stakeholders from among others the Banking industry, Nordic Blockchain Association, Blockchain Sweden, K33 and many more to discuss how to navigate in a landscape with clearly Bold Horizons! We will cover everything from the classic AML/KYC/Compliance challenges towards growth in the ecosystem and market predictions for the Nordics and Globally. To on the other side also look into what kind of infrastructure providers you should include in order to position yourself in an optimized way as a Bank or Finance Institution. Both from the compliance as well as the business operational side. This Roundtable is connected towards the fireside talk "Banking & Digital Assets – Are the Nordics falling behind?" starting 0940-1000 at the main stage on Tuesday.

Afterparty with Bold Horizons – Sweden vs Norway!
Organizer: Crucible Bold Horizons, Nordic Blockchain Association, Blockchain Sweden, K33

Let's Get Ready to Ruuuuuumble! It is Sweden vs Norway! A true classic through historical times in endless Cross-Country skiing races to Oil vs Cars and more recently Zlatan vs Haaland!? But this time, we would rather see it in the nexus context. More specifically that regardless of if you are Swedish or Norwegian, other Nordics or outside of the region we understand that you probably will get both thirsty and hungry after a long successful day at the conference. Hence, cold drinks and pizza will be kindly served to you by Crucible Bold Horizons who seek synergies cross all of the Nordics. But we also would like to create even more nexus moments of sharing best practices and learning from each other through the Nordics in order to navigate the business landscape even better together. Even more specifically, we will look into the landscape of Banks and Financial Institutions in the context of Digital Assets and its surroundings. Both with regards to how AI is playing a key role in combination with Blockchain, but also how the Norwegian Banks have been more open and willing to learn, experiment and onboard customers rather than the Swedish ones when it comes to Digital Assets. We have invited some key stakeholders from the Banking industry together with leading industry players from among others Nordic Blockchain Association, Blockchain Sweden, K33, Goobit, ChromaWay and several others to discuss and share best practices towards how we also possibly could find an even better way to navigate the landscape together. Panels and talks will be led by Magnus Jones and an updated list of panelists and speakers may be found at the Luma registration link. All of this in combination with a focus on mingling, networking and joint synergies! Hence, we welcome everyone to join regardless of if you have no crypto in your digital wallet, or if you are a true Degen stacked with Sats. Everyone is welcome to join! ..even if you are just looking for a drink and a slice of pizza in order to survive a log day 🙂 We buidl this together!

Let's fix ESG data!
Organizer: Christian Patay

CSRD is here! The number of companies disclosing sustainability data is set to grow from ~15,000 to at least 140,000 globally. Yet, many data users—banks, funds, researchers, and supply chain managers—still rely on manual methods (copy-pasting from PDFs) or outdated vendor approaches (low-cost offshoring for manual data entry). These methods are error-prone, costly, and rapidly outdated. Join our roundtable to explore how we’re leveraging AI to revolutionize ESG data collection. Share your thoughts and help shape the future of ESG data!
