Our members and partners have long called for stronger collaboration across the Nordic countries. That is why we are now launching the GS1 Nordic Summit – a new meeting place where leaders, experts, and decision-makers gather to share knowledge, exchange experiences, and develop solutions together.

Over two inspiring days on May 7–8, 2026, in Oslo, the conference will focus on how global standards, technology, and data can create value – for both businesses and society. The GS1 Nordic Summit will be the leading Nordic platform at the intersection of technology, standards, and social impact.

Theme of the year: Navigating Trade in a New World Order

How can companies build resilience and growth in an era defined by uncertainty, geopolitical shifts, and increasing demands for transparency?

At the GS1 Nordic Summit 2026, we will focus on:

  • Strategies for international collaboration
  • Data-driven insights and visibility throughout the value chain
  • How we build trust in the future of global trade

Three main tracks – tailored to your industry

To ensure maximum relevance, this year's conference features three main tracks:

  • Construction: Digitalization, standardization, and collaboration as drivers for the green transition in the construction industry
  • Durable Goods: Digital product passports, circularity, and new business models for textiles, electronics, and other durable products

The GS1 Nordic Summit is the place to gain concrete insights, solutions, and new partnerships that make a real difference for your industry.
