Sweden 2026: Can the Nordic Model Survive?

Sweden keeps topping those “happiest country on Earth” lists. So why does it feel like the whole model is starting to crack? And could this September’s election be the thing that finally breaks it?

On 13 September, Swedes head to the polls in a vote that’s really about something bigger: the survival of the Nordic Model. Free markets, welfare for everyone, some of the highest taxes in the world, and a deep social trust holding it all together. Come and hash it out with us: can a high-trust welfare state really hold together in a more divided society?

Speaker: Gellert Zerboni, founder, game developer and MeetEU member from Sweden
