About EBG | Network – Empowering Nordic Procurement Since 2010. Our network has been at the forefront of organizing Nordic procurement conferences. These events bring together industry leaders to share insights and strategies.
EBG | Network (corporate name EBG e-BusinessGuide AB) was founded in 2010 by Anna Bjärkerud. The aim was to bridge a critical gap in large organizations. This was done through Nordic procurement conferences addressing the lack of real cross-functional collaboration.
With a background in behavioural science, Anna understood that achieving end-to-end strategies involves more than technology. It requires people across the business coming together to collaborate at Nordic procurement conferences. They use these events to share, reflect, and improve how they work.
A Pioneer in Procurement Collaboration
Since 2010, EBG has focused on procurement as a strategic, end-to-end process. This helps professionals across the Nordics and Europe meet and learn through:
✅ Peer-driven round table discussions
✅ Insight-packed workshops and summits
✅ Virtual and in-person webinars with thought leaders and practitioners
Our History of Innovation
- 2010: EBG launched P2P Summit in Stockholm — the first Nordic event linking procurement and finance.
- 2014: The summit evolved into Source 2 Pay Summit. It brings sourcing, procurement, and finance together under one roof — still the only summit of its kind in Europe.
- 2017: Responding to growing needs around risk, sustainability, and supplier collaboration, Sourcing Outlook was introduced.
- 2020–2021: During the pandemic, EBG pivoted to virtual summits. They hosted four online roundtable events and enabled 129 live discussions across Europe.
- 2022: EBG launched CPO Outlook. This initiative brought strategic sourcing and operational procurement in the Nordics and beyond into one unified summit. Focus was placed on people, processes, and technology.
Why EBG Is Different
At the heart of every summit we create are Theme Discussions — interactive round tables led by moderators from leading global companies. These are not lectures, but each session is a chance to exchange real experiences with peers. Participants face similar challenges.
EBG doesn’t just talk about transformation — we enable it. We give procurement, sourcing, and finance leaders the platform to reflect, compare, and act on what matters most during Nordic procurement conferences.
A Trusted Partner for Nordic Procurement Leaders
EBG | Network is proud to have welcomed thousands of procurement professionals, sponsors, and speakers to our Nordic procurement conferences, summits and virtual events. These include professionals from companies such as Electrolux, Scania, Outokumpu, Handelsbanken, Konecranes, H&M, NCC, and many more.
In short, EBG enables great people to come together. We believe in the power of experience exchange more than fancy talks. We walk the walk rather than talking about what’s to come. We share what could be done differently instead of focusing on an ideal in the future.
