Nordic Infrastructure: Behind the Decisions

Few people have led a country through a financial crisis and then gone on to advise the world's largest investors. In this episode, we sit down with Gordon Bajnai, CEO of Campbell Lutyens and former Prime Minister of Hungary.

With his rare experience at the highest levels of politics and global finance, Gordon offers unique insights into how shifting geopolitics, technological change and investor appetite are reshaping infrastructure.

We explore why global capital is turning to the Nordics, how smarter public-private partnerships could unlock growth, and which megatrends will shape the decades ahead.

Data centers are growing fast, but are they part of the climate challenge, or the solution? In this episode we sit down with Peter Michelson, CEO of EcoDataCenter.

He shares how the company is setting a new standard with facilities powered by 100% renewable energy, delivering 98% lower carbon emissions than global benchmarks, and reusing excess heat to support local communities.

We also explore the Nordic advantage with strong grids, a cold climate and green power, and how the AI boom is reshaping the digital infrastructure landscape today.

What does it take for a bank to go from fossil legacy to green leadership? In this episode, Kjerstin Braathen, CEO of DNB, joins us for a conversation on transition finance, ESG recalibration, and the financial sector's role in shaping real-world change.

We talk about sustainability as risk management, the rise of transition loans, carbon markets, and the critical role of infrastructure in decarbonizing the Nordics. Kjerstin also shares her personal leadership journey, from growing up in a family business to leading one of Europe's most influential banks and what it will take to keep DNB, and the Nordic region, ahead in a rapidly changing world.

Can the Nordics lead the global green transition or are we at risk of falling behind? In this episode, Daniella Waldfogel, CEO of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, shares a wide-ranging perspective on competitiveness, climate leadership, and capital.

She discusses why the Nordics are still viewed as global frontrunners, what sets the region apart, and why infrastructure, cross-border collaboration, and political stability matter more than ever. Daniella also shares her personal journey and an optimistic take on what it will take to turn ambition into action.

How can carbon capture and storage become a real climate solution at scale? In this episode, host Christian Doglia is joined by Anders Egelrud (Stockholm Exergi) and Martin Lundby (Celsio) to explore two of Europe's most advanced CCS projects. They discuss what it takes to turn CCS into infrastructure, how policy and public-private partnerships make it possible, and why long-term sustainability requires both emissions reduction and permanent carbon removal. From carbon markets to AI and global potential, this is the future of negative emissions, straight from the decision makers building it.

Solar energy in the Nordics might sound unlikely, but Harald Överholm, founder of Alight, proves otherwise. In this episode, he joins host Christian Doglia to explore how solar became scalable even in low-irradiance regions. They discuss the economics behind solar's rise, the role of power purchase agreements (PPAs), and how battery storage and AI are driving the next phase. Harald shares insights on market turbulence, grid reform, the future of solar resilience, and the capital journey from VC to infrastructure funds. A must-listen for anyone interested in the business and future of clean energy in the Nordics.
