Recorded in Lund, Sweden, the birthplace of Qlik, this special episode of Data Voyagers features an in-depth conversation of our hosts, Igor Alcantara and Angelika Klidas with Qlik CEO Mike Capone. Together, we explore Qlik’s remarkable journey from its Scandinavian origins in 1993 to its present as a global leader in data and AI.
