Nordic Innovation House started the Bifrost Talks -series as a response to the Covid-19 crisis, which quickly disrupted the life and business-as-usual here is Silicon Valley and around the world. In order to provide information and practical guidance for startups in a time of crisis, we have hosted weekly webinars with local experts since April. Now that the crisis has turned into a new normal for the foreseeable future, we will continue the series to the second half of 2020 on a monthly basis.

ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:
CHANDER CHAWLA is a businessman who brings a global perspective to technology and design. I’ve lived and worked in six countries in multiple sectors and functions within the hi-tech industry. Highlights include commercializing disruptive mobile technologies like WiFi and wearable devices, running a $600M business, and creating a product to bridge the physical and digital worlds as an entrepreneur. In addition to my career in the business world, I’ve advised the Swedish government on economic growth policy. My diverse experience and my training in Complex Systems have given me the unique ability to find the interconnectedness of unrelated phenomena. I frequently keynote on innovation, commercializing new technologies, scaling businesses, and seeing the unseen. I write about philosophy, leadership, the arts and human behavior on my blog at cdoq.blogspot.com. In a nutshell, I am a skipper of stones, builder of bridges, and burster of bubbles.
