In an increasingly uncertain security environment, civil defence is no longer solely a matter for public authorities. Businesses play a crucial role in strengthening society’s resilience during crises, heightened alert, and ultimately war. From supply chains and infrastructure to leadership and continuity planning, corporate preparedness is becoming an essential part of Sweden’s total defence.

Anna Starbrink will discuss the role of companies within Sweden’s civil defence, the evolving expectations on the private sector, and how boards and business leaders can contribute to a more resilient society in times of crisis and conflict.
