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

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.

"Europe cannot invent more natural gas. But it can invent more renewables." In this episode, Kristian Jensen, CEO of Green Power Denmark and former Danish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Finance and Taxation, discusses Europe's changing energy reality. The conversation moves from Greenland and Denmark's Arctic role to the wider question of how Europe can reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and external powers. Kristian Jensen shares his perspective on why energy is now deeply connected to security, independence and competitiveness and why the Nordics have an important role to play through renewable energy, stronger grids and closer cross-border cooperation. Host: Christian Doglia, CEO of Infranode.
