14. Why digital Infrastructure is now critical infrastructure, with former Telia CEO

What would happen if digital infrastructure stopped working when society needs it most? In this episode, we meet Johan Dennelind, former President and CEO of Telia, now investor, advisor and chairman, to discuss why digital infrastructure has moved far beyond connectivity and become part of the operating system of society. The war in Ukraine is one example of how critical resilient communication systems are in times of crisis. When digital infrastructure fails, the consequences are immediate, affecting payments, information flows, transport, energy systems and trust in national capacity. A key takeaway is that digital infrastructure can no longer be treated as a separate sector. It must be planned together with energy, security and governance.
