EuroCommerce is pleased to announce that our Payments Adviser, Atze Faas, will be participating in the upcoming Nordic Summit 2025, taking place on 8–9 October in Malmö, Sweden.

Atze will moderate the session “How do global brands get payments right in every market?”, featuring insights from leading global retailers such as IKEA and H&M. The discussion will focus on how to balance global efficiency with local needs, adapt quickly to a fast-changing payments landscape, and design strategies that work across diverse markets.

He will also join a high-level panel on “Resilient Retail: Trust, Speed & Action in a Shifting World” alongside representatives of the European Central Bank and Nordic central banks, exploring how retailers can contribute to building trust and resilience in payments in an evolving digital environment.

The Nordic Summit 2025 brings together experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to discuss consumer trends, innovation, and the future of payments in Europe and beyond.
