Ex-EU trade commissioner Cecilia Malmström to host opening keynote

If negotiating trade barriers with Donald Trump – in person at the White House – is a token of seniority, our opening speaker has it. For a geopolitical and trade-perspective outlook at the world, let us be guided by ten-year European Commissioner Cecilia Malmström. Read more

Get inside Peter Forsberg’s “winner skull”

The nuance of Swedish word “vinnarskalle”, literally “winner skull bone”, can be hard to capture in English. What we can do, however, is allow our stage for a closing keynote by the guy who has come to epitomise it … and who’s got the double Stanley Cup golds, double olympic golds and double world championship golds to prove it: icehockey legend Peter Forsberg.

Having debuted in Sweden’s top league with his home team Modo at 17 (in 1990), he shares insights and anecdotes from his journey, through a spectacular sports career of over two decades but also into his new life as an entrepreneur across several lines of business. Let him share what features and methods he has come to identify as most critical to succeeding, whether as an individual or as a team – at work as well as in one’s personal life.

The concept stays …

• One packed main conference day on the Thursday (with Training Day and an early arrivers’ mingle on the Wednesday).
• A relatively late morning start to allow flying in. 
• Ending with the spectacular seated-dinner party.
• A conference programme for treasurers, by treasurers, rich on case studies – with some sessions in plenary and many in tracks.
• And again: this is offered all free for you as a treasurer. 

Why not make this a team-building opportunity with your treasury colleagues? 

Now, block your calendar and sign up for 22 May 2025! 

… yet we are adding yet another track – of roundtable workshops!

Our newest structural addition is a set of four practically focussed roundtable workshops, set up in response to requests by some treasurers for more hands-on insights. We polled you over what topics to cover, across 57 alternatives. Here is how you responded, and here are the sessions in the agenda below. Join the table as an insights contributor – nobody will be just a listener. No need to sign up for each roundtable in advance, just pop in as with any other session. Note: open for corporate-side treasury/finance-function pros only, no bank reps or other sponsors/providers. 

They say treasurers are good at tough decisions but this year’s schedule will test you. At its 2022 launch, Treasury 360° Nordic featured three parallel session tracks through the middle of the day – and we’ve grown by one track per year since then. This puts 2025 at an unprecedented six parallels!

Opening remarks

PANEL - Funding: Who sets the terms – the bank or you?

Group funding is a core part of treasury and a core part of corporate banking. Why do funding negotiations often turn into a lengthy process, especially under time pressure? Are banks demanding more security than necessary, leaving corporates to manage compliance burdens and facing limited financial flexibility? And why do negotiations so often shift focus to less important issues – a ‘lawyers’ dance’ where everyone already knows how it will end? 

In this panel, representatives for banks and corporates will debate these questions, touching on whether the bank and its legal advisors are truly focused on the key points or if they’re contributing to unnecessary delays. Join us as we explore why these challenges arise and how they could be addressed.

Cecilia Malmström
Senior fellow, Peterson Institute for International Economics; Ex-EU trade commissioner

OPENING KEYNOTE: Tension is high … so where is trade going? – Cecilia Malmström

If negotiating trade barriers with Donald Trump – in person at the White House – is a token of seniority, our opening speaker has it. For a geopolitical and trade-perspective outlook at the world, let us be guided by ten-year European Commissioner Cecilia Malmström.

As she joined the Commission in early 2010 – to work first for five years as its commissioner for home affairs (including internal security, migration and more), then another five as commissioner for trade – she was already a seasoned big-issues politician, as well as researcher and university teacher. Three years as Sweden’s EU minister and seven years as a member of the European Parliament, as well as a doctorate degree in political science, were part of her foundation. Since moving back to Sweden with her family, she helps a range of institutions navigate changes and develop policies. Her current main position is one as non-resident senior fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics, a think tank based in US capital Washington.

Looking out over the world, threats of trade restrictions appear to be worsening and we are seeing a broad range of geopolitical tensions and other security risks in play. How should we make sense of it?

12:15 FIRESIDE CHAT: Treasury transformation: lessons from new and mature companies

What if you could build a new treasury from scratch, without system dependencies and legacy. Would you then go for real time data and automated processes? Sounds easy, but is it?How do the challenges, decision-making, and implementation differ between young and mature companies? And what can established treasuries learn from the newer ones?Join Susanne Stenborg, who has navigated treasury roles across SKF → Volvo Cars → Polestar → back to SKF, to explore the key takeaways from both worlds. She’ll share insights together with Kristoffer Jansell from Nordea on:

• the biggest treasury efficiency challenges and opportunities at different company stages

• what processes and mindsets can (and cannot) be transferred between younger and more mature treasuries

• where to start if you’re building a treasury today – what’s the low-hanging fruit

• where can you easily start if you run a mature and established treasury where it’s hard to get IT-investments

The session promises hands-on experience and practical takeaways.

12:45 Lunch break

14:25 PANEL: The role of AI and automation in treasury: job killer or strategic enabler?

With the rapid development of automation and artificial intelligence applications – and the data-centred nature of treasury work – it is easy to feel urgency about our work environment. A superficial discussion can easily lead to drastic conclusions, either that the tech will do all the boring stuff for us and let us shine, or the tragic flip side: that it will steal our jobs.In this session, let’s seek the nuance. How are the benefits of automation achieved at maximum without negative effects on treasury’s human-driven insights and relationships? What are some examples of good balance between automation and human intervention in the real world?

12:15 CASE STUDY: The journey from building a brand-new treasury to success in the debt capital markets

As with any company listed through a spin-off from a larger group, building corporate functions from scratch is a critical task. When the Electrolux Professional Group was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in March 2020, it embarked on precisely this journey. Paulo Kubis, Head of Treasury at Electrolux Professional and a part of these efforts from the beginning, will present how the newly established function has grown and effectively delivered on substantial projects. This journey culminated in the Group’s strong debut in the Swedish Debt Capital Market, marked by the successful launch of both a Commercial Paper and MTN Programmes. Paulo will share his team’s steps, starting from simplification to secure a solid base, emphasizing the importance of talent and people, and detailing the evolution that ensures deliveries and enhances the value added to the business. Treasury needs to be a strategic function, and this presentation will illustrate how it has impacted the remarkable journey of the Electrolux Professional Group as a successful independent company.

14:25 CASE STUDY: How CEZ Group, central europe’s energy giant, transformed treasury business with SAP S/4HANA

As a part of the ERP+ SAP generational renewal project system landscape of Treasury systems underwent significant centralization. Before the project, there were running a few parallel treasury systems; decentralized SAP, non-SAP TMS and separate SAP systems of vertically integrated entities. All business processes were running in parallel and due to lack of integration, part of the activities had to be duplicated.As result of ERP+ project, Treasury systems and business processes are centralized. The Central system on the SAP S/4HANA platform now serves as a main source of Treasury data and no duplicated processes are necessary. Some legal entities inside CEZ Group could not be centralized fully. They have their own SAP systems and centralization works alternative way. All key Treasury processes (like Deal Entry, Payments, Monthly Closing,..) are performed on the centralized SAP S/4HANA system, but posting documents are transferred and created only on the systems of the vertically integrated companies.

15:00 CASE STUDY: Tapping waste for revenues – how true circularity reflects in the books at Ragn-Sells

For Ragn-Sells sustainability director Pär Larshans (who doubles as president of Europe’s recycling industry, by the way) good waste is not to be wasted. The circular model of his own business transforms the waste into valuable resources, driving profitability while reducing environmental impact. Treasury managers will be wise to explore the financial opportunities of sustainability efforts – such as unlocking revenue streams, managing resource risks, and aligning investments with future-focused ESG goals. Let Pär show how embracing circularity isn't just good for the planet – it is a strategic imperative that impacts liquidity, risk management, and long-term growth.

      14:25 CASE STUDY: Tapping new solutions to tackle “polycrisis” – Cash management case studies from the United Nations Office for Project Services

      Many types of crisis can disturb your cash flows – so, how do you deal with it when several crises hit you at the same time, and they block the solutions for each other? The question arises as many regions are facing complex situations featuring economic instability, geopolitical tensions, climate change, public health emergencies, or all of the above. Add to this poor infrastructure, limited banking penetration and volatile exchange rates, adding to the difficulty for businesses and households in getting hold of cash. 

      Meet Julian Cafolla of the United Nations Office for Project Services, where such “polycrisIs” make for normal workdays. He will let you know that all is not dark, though. Partly as a response to such crisis situations, digital financial solutions (e.g., mobile money platforms, digital wallets, and blockchain-based systems) are emerging as key tools for improving cash management and financial inclusion. Also, governments in developing countries are refining their fiscal policies and cash management systems to better withstand shocks. These strategies may include the creation of digital cash transfer programs, expanding access to emergency liquidity via central banks, and implementing innovative public-private partnerships for cash distribution.

      Track F – Treasurers only – the roundtables

      This is the track where caring means sharing. The topics are the ones that you, treasurers, most badly want to discuss with each other, from a practical angle. We know, because we asked you in September! (Read about our topics poll and its resulting 57-topic ranking list here.) These roundtables introduce a completely new format with our conference – one where you are active as the producer of insight just as much as a consumer. As networky as it gets. No need to sign up for each roundtable in advance, just pop in as with any other session – just be there strictly on time. (Open only for corporate-side professionals of any specialty and seniority level, not for representatives of banks or other providers.)

      We are hoping for broad participation. The schedule will be tight, but with methods combining floor activity and wall visualisations with roundtables of around 6 treasurers each, we guarantee that – through your own contribution – you and everybody else will leave the room with deeper practical insight as well as an expanded personal network on each topic. Ready, set, go.

      Anonymously, delegates’ bulletpoint notes of key choices/action points/challenges will normally be collected on the wall, allowing participants to document the room’s total knowledge insight by snapping pictures. 

      11:35 Track introduction by track sponsor

      11:40 Treasurers-only roundtable 1: The in-house bank
      (Sharp start time – no admission after 11:40)

      Roughly speaking, the idea of an in-house bank is to centrally control all the money that the group has, as well as interface with all the external relations around the money and financial services it needs. Among other benefits, this should bring various internal netting possibilities, and support scale advantages in terms of cost and quality in sourced services from banks and other providers. Wherever you stand on the scale from generally curious to done-it-all-and-have-the-scars-to-prove-it, join this workshop to share and discuss your key choices, action points and challenges, and to further expand your network with other interested real-life pros. (Consider joining this session in combo with the free four-hour course on the same topic, delivered on the day before as part of Training Day by Treasury 360°. Bring your team!)

      12:15 Treasurers-only roundtable 2: Digitalising treasury – concrete choices and action points
      (Sharp start time – no admission after 12:15)

      Digitalisation – just a single word, but a universe of different things you can do and approaches you can take. The talk now is much about new AI capabilities, though, don’t most of us still have plenty of fruit to pick in the garden of good old data-flow integrations and master data housekeeping, supporting our ability to automate work (Python, anyone)? And how do we make sure we have the right skills and team structure? Whatever your organisation’s level of digital sophistication, bring your key choices, action points and challenges, and let’s give it 30 minutes to crack it all. Or at least, to further expand your network with other interested real-life pros. (This session makes a great combo with several tech-focused four-hour courses of Training Day by Treasury 360°. Those are on the day before, free of charge.)

      14:25 Treasurers-only roundtable 3: Working capital
      (Sharp start time – no admission after 15:00)

      A topic you can never be finally done with – but which will pretty much always offer great value-creation opportunity when managed right. It is highly dependent on good partnership between the finance function and the business lines – so, what is your method to manage it and what will be your next step? Where do you see buckets to tap, how do you practically go after them – and how have you identified them in the first place? Join this workshop to share and discuss your key choices, action points and challenges, and to further expand your network with other interested real-life pros.

      (Sharp start time – no admission after 14:25)Evaluation method can be learnt from books but your company’s use case is unique – so come and discuss it! What’s your currency challenge, what’s your setup to tackle it, and what’s your next step to optimise it? Join this workshop to share and discuss your key choices, action points and challenges, and to further expand your network with other interested real-life pros. (For a deeper theoretical primer, Training Day by Treasury 360°, on the day before, hosts a massively popular free four-hour course with 28 seats; a great combo with joining this session, too.)Session facilitated by Pia Villför Larsson, Co-founder, Facilitatorhuset

      PANEL - Funding: Who sets the terms – the bank or you?

      Group funding is a core part of treasury and a core part of corporate banking. Why do funding negotiations often turn into a lengthy process, especially under time pressure? Are banks demanding more security than necessary, leaving corporates to manage compliance burdens and facing limited financial flexibility? And why do negotiations so often shift focus to less important issues – a ‘lawyers’ dance’ where everyone already knows how it will end? 

      In this panel, representatives for banks and corporates will debate these questions, touching on whether the bank and its legal advisors are truly focused on the key points or if they’re contributing to unnecessary delays. Join us as we explore why these challenges arise and how they could be addressed.

      CLOSING KEYNOTE - Get inside Peter Forsberg’s “winner skull”

      The nuance of Swedish word “vinnarskalle”, literally “winner skull bone”, can be hard to capture in English. What we can do, however, is allow our stage for a closing keynote by the guy who has come to epitomise it … and who’s got the double Stanley Cup golds, double olympic golds and double world championship golds to prove it: icehockey legend Peter Forsberg.

      Having debuted in Sweden’s top league with his home team Modo at 17 (in 1990), he shares insights and anecdotes from his journey, through a spectacular sports career of over two decades but also into his new life as an entrepreneur across several lines of business. Let him share what features and methods he has come to identify as most critical to succeeding, whether as an individual or as a team – at work as well as in one’s personal life.

      Travelling

      Treasury 360° Nordic 2025 will take place at Stockholmsmässan, Stockholm’s leading expo venue. From Stockholm City station (a part of the central station) it is only a 9-minute journey by the highly frequent commuter train (“pendeltåg”, the “P” signs) to Älvsjö station, then 300 meters’ walk. 

      Our 9:45 programme opening should allow that you fly in just for the day, with the every-15-minutes Arlanda Express train letting you reach the venue in less than an hour from the airport. Starting in March, see our promotion emails in your inbox for a 20% discount code which we cannot publish openly. If you never get such emails, from “Treasury 360° – Event”, sign up here to receive them. 

      Several airlines land at Stockholm Arlanda Airport (ARN) in the morning, including SAS, Norwegian and Finnair, and a smaller number at Bromma Stockholm Airport (BMA). You may get an overview on a comparison site such as Google Flights. Train operators include Sweden’s SJ

      Staying

      Consider booking travel and accomodation soon; our event coincides with Stockholm hosting the men’s icehockey world championship. The “pendeltåg” commuter trains make it smooth to combine the event with staying in central Stockholm, but there are also hotels at Älvsjö, with Scandic Talk even being part of the event venue complex. Agreements with certain hotels have been set up to go part of the way towards providing enough rooms for Treasury 360° delegates through up to two nights 21–23 May 2025:
