0TO9 launches Zero to Something Podcast is hosted by Erika Eliasson Ekberger. The podcast is exploring the future of Europe through the lens of finance and entrepreneurship. Through conversations with company builders, investors and regulators, we explore the ideas, challenges and opportunities shaping Europe.

Europe must invest around 800 billion euros a year more than it does today, sustained over a decade. The launch comes two years on from the Draghi report, and the podcast sets out to look at who can build what that investment requires.

"Sweden is one of very few countries where almost everyone owns a piece of the capital market," says Erika Eliasson Ekberger, the host. She argues that this is "exactly the kind of experience Europe is looking for right now."

"Europe knows what needs to be done. The question now is who will build it," says Tord Topsholm, CEO of 0TO9.

Who is on the first episodes

The first three episodes feature Tomas Flodén, CEO of AMF; Gabriel Mellqvist, presenter and journalist at EFN and a former Dagens industri correspondent in London and New York; and Evelina Anttila, CEO of Nordan.ai and an investor on Draknästet, Sweden's Dragons' Den.

The schedule continues with Per Nordkvist, former Executive Director of Markets at Finansinspektionen, the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, and now CRO of Cardinal, on 16 October. Tord Topsholm appears as a guest on 30 October.
