Our civilization has made tremendous progress over the last few decades. But progress is not a sprint. It is a marathon. Our progress has now led us to question some of the fundamentals of how the world works, how tech works, and how our relationships work. This is a Paradigm Shift in the making. Welcome to a fireside chat with Hélène Barnekow, CEO of Microsoft Sweden to understand the dynamics of this Paradigm Shift. In this fireside chat we discuss: 1- Hélène’s journey in the IT industry and Microsoft 2- What are the biggest challenges the world faces today? 3- How should we approach innovation, diversity, and impact? 4- How to solve problems together as one planet, one team? 5- What is responsible tech and how to enable it across the globe? 6- Are entrepreneurs the enablers of the Paradigm Shift? How? 7- How to make entrepreneurship a level playing field for everyone? Hélène will also discuss how Microsoft helps startups and ecosystems globally and in Sweden. She will be interviewed by Naimul Abd, Business Advisor & Partnerships Lead at Coompanion Stockholm, serial impact entrepreneur, and Director Startup Grind Stockholm.
