​Speedrunning Insurance: Moving Fast in an Industry Known for Moving Slowly

​Hosted by Data & AI Stockholm × Stockholm Snowflake User group× Svedea

​📅 Wednesday, August 26, 2026
📍 Svedea , Stockholm
⏰ 17:30 – 20:30

​Join Data & AI Stockholm, Stockholm Snowflake User Group, and Svedea as we kick off the autumn season with an evening of learning, networking, and reconnecting with the community after the summer break.

​In this session, we'll explore what it really takes to build modern Data & AI capabilities inside a highly regulated industry. While insurance is often seen as an industry that moves cautiously, delivering Data & AI successfully isn't about moving slowly—it's about moving fast with purpose, while staying within the rules that protect customers and the business.

​Our speaker, Rasmus Säfvenberg from Svedea, will share how his team approaches building data platforms and AI capabilities in an environment where governance, security, ownership, and compliance are not obstacles to innovation—they are what make innovation possible. You'll hear how Svedea balances building versus buying, why understanding data ownership accelerates decision-making, and what it means to become AI-ready rather than simply chasing the latest AI trends.

​The session will also highlight the role of Snowflake as part of Svedea's modern data platform, enabling scalable, secure, and governed access to data that supports both analytics and future AI initiatives. Together, these architectural decisions help create a platform that can evolve as business needs change while maintaining the trust and control required in a regulated industry.

​Rather than presenting a perfect success story, Rasmus will walk through the architectural decisions that have shaped Svedea's platform, the choices that proved valuable, and the lessons learned along the way—including the ones he would approach differently today.

​Unlike our usual meetup format, this event will feature a keynote presentation followed by an extended networking session. Instead of smaller discussion groups, we'll spend more time connecting with fellow members of the community, catching up after the summer, and welcoming both familiar and new faces.
