From Google to Public Service: Johan A Eriksson on Tech, Learning, and the Future of SVT

Going from a top position at Google to the role of CTO at Sveriges Television is no small step. But for Johan A Eriksson, it’s about more than just a job – it’s about bringing together innovation, societal value, and lifelong learning.

In this episode of Tech Royale, we talk about:

How to build a fast-moving and innovative organization, even in the public sector
Why lifelong learning is the only truly sustainable long-term strategy – for both individuals and companies
The role of AI in everything from investigative journalism to audience data and content production
What SVT can take from global tech giants – and what makes its mission unique
Why human well-being should become our new “GDP”

Johan also shares his thoughts on how to foster a culture of learning and innovation – and why this could make SVT the world’s most innovative media organization by 2026.
