Ö-borgen – DSM2025 Partner

Interview with Örjan Backman, CEO, Ö-borgen. 

Ö-borgen supports DSM2025 as long term Partner. What contributed to make this decision?
We are grateful to be part of DSM, an obvious choice when we had the opportunity. DSM is an important and large forum in our industry and for us.

What are your expectations for DSM2025?
Meet customers and friends in the marine sphere. It brings a great benefit to our companies, but we are also full of anticipation to get a dose of the Donsö spirit.

What is your best memory from DSM2023?
It is like after every DSM, that you are once again reminded that it is togetherness that is the key, that we are stronger together than each of us individually and that gives us energy in everyday life.

What do you find are the opportunities and the biggest challenges in the Shipping Industry today?
One of the biggest challenges, but also the opportunities today, is the entire transition to being able to conduct business in Shipping in a more sustainable way. Then we have the challenge of competence supply, that the next generation also sees a future in the marine industry.

How would you describe DSM in one sentence?
Bumblebee. It shouldn’t actually be able to fly, but it does fly and is also very useful for the rest of us.

And finally, do you prefer a sail or a motorboat for recreation, and why so?
I prefer a motorboat, I love going fast!
