More about the speakers

Troed Sangberg is a futurist working at the Sony Ericsson CTO Office. With a core technical background and a keen interest in changes in society, culture and the human mind he tries to explore, expand and project the resulting impacts onto the mobile industry. After over a decade’s worth of mobile experience in developing, project leading and directing strategy at companies ranging from Ericsson, Symbian, TietoEnator to Sony Ericsson one question relevant today would be for how long, or if, we still consider there to be a separate mobile industry. Troed can be followed on Twitter, and his corporate Sony Ericsson blog.
