The AI Collective Sweden

Gala Edition:
Human Centered
AI Impact Awards

Date: 9 June 2026   |   Location: Stockholm

This is a curated recognition gala celebrating companies shaping responsible AI in Sweden.

Why This Award
Exists!

In today's AI landscape, the spotlight favors noise, big funding, big brands, big claims.

But across Sweden, quiet builders are creating responsible, real-world AI without the hype. They prioritize responsibility, drive adoption, and invest in people…not just tech.

The AI Collective Sweden Awards, powered by DaasTeK, gives them a podium.

Not for being the biggest..
But for building it right.

These Awards Are Personal

Three years into DaasTeK, the world was recovering from COVID and GenAI didn't exist.

We built computer vision & fraud detection for one of our customers and were nominated as an "AI company to watch," but didn't make the list, reason: we were too small.

Staying small was intentional. We stayed lean and focused on quality over optics.

Back then, small builders were overlooked like this. Today, GenAI has made them visible again.

It's time we properly acknowledge the quiet builders who've been doing the real work from the start.
