Helena Hedblom, CEO, Epiroc Group

In an era marked by rapid technological advancements, transforming a traditional heavy industrial company into a fast-paced technology-driven entity requires a bold approach that encompasses strategic acquisitions, effective change management, and the cultivation of a dynamic corporate culture.

We are delighted to welcome Helena Hedblom​, President and CEO of Epiroc Group​, as our guest at our next SwedCham APAC CEO Talk on 28 February. Ms Hedblom will talk about the transformation journey of Eprioc and how to move a heavy industrial company to become more of a fast-paced technology company. The success lies in strategic blend of acquisitions, change management, and cultural evolution. By embracing innovation at every level and fostering a dynamic organisational culture, companies can position themselves at the forefront of technological progress, ensuring long-term sustainability and competitiveness in the global market.

The discussion is facilitated by Petra Andrén​, who is an innovation leader, experienced board member, accomplished investor, and business builder with a track record spanning over 25 years in international markets and advanced technology sectors.
