At our Nordic Energy & Infrastructure Summit, decision-makers, investors, and policymakers came together to explore how to build a more secure, sustainable, and resilient energy future. Some of the key themes discussed: Speed up permitting – Concerns were raised that lengthy approval processes risk slowing down Sweden’s energy transition. Transition 2.0 – The importance of building and investing in a reliable, affordable, and fossil-free energy system, with rapid solar expansion and growing needs for battery infrastructure to manage variability. Finance as an enabler – Nordic investors called for stronger public-private collaboration to attract long-term capital and accelerate sustainable infrastructure investments. Some of the voices on stage included SSAB, Hitachi Energy, Infranode, Heidelberg Materials, Rystad Energy, and Svenska kraftnät. The summit underscored the essential role of finance as an enabler of sustainable and resilient growth—and the importance of turning dialogue between government and industry into faster action.

October 3 is Germany's National Day, or the German Unity Day – Tag der Deutschen Einheit. The day has been celebrated since 1990, in memory of the reunification between West and East Germany. It was also then that Berlin became Germany's new capital. Before the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, few West Germans even knew the date of their nation’s founding (May 23, 1949). East Germany’s national day was October 7, remembering the founding of the socialist German Democratic Republic in 1949. Unlike patriotic celebrations in other countries, most people in Germany do not display German flags or attend military parades for Unity Day. Instead, most spend the day with family and friends – outdoors or at home. Einen schönen Tag der Deutschen Einheit! Happy German Unity Day! SEB has been active in Germany since 1976 and it is one of our strategic home markets.
