Andreas Ekström

Andreas Ekström is a distinguished Swedish journalist, author, and digital futurist who has established himself as a premier commentator on the global digital landscape. As a senior staff writer and columnist for the Malmö-based daily newspaper Sydsvenskan, he draws upon extensive reporting experience to analyse the complex intersections of media, commerce, and political power. His work explores how major digital entities influence modern society and who ultimately maintains control over financial and social structures as the world becomes increasingly digitised. He is widely recognised for coining the concept of Organic Intelligence (OI), a framework designed to help organisations navigate the artificial intelligence revolution by focusing on human experience, collaboration, and values. Rather than offering temporary checklists, he advocates for a deep commitment to research and continuous learning. His approach posits that the most successful future relies not on the technology an organisation purchases, but on the unique human capabilities and collective knowledge of the people they employ. Through his bespoke presentations, he provides audiences with a comprehensive understanding of digital journalism and the shifting dynamics of online editorial content. He is a highly regarded speaker across Europe and beyond, frequently booked for his ability to transform complex technological shifts into relatable and thought-provoking narratives that empower teams to thrive in a digital-first era. On stage, Andreas Ekström is best known for talks on Digital Business & Strategy. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Andreas Ekström is regularly booked for Conference Speaker and Business Speaker, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A. Based in Sweden, Andreas Ekström travels internationally for engagements.
