Björn Ulvaeus

Björn Ulvaeus is a Swedish songwriter, producer, entrepreneur and creators’ rights advocate. Best known as co-founder and member of ABBA, he has helped shape global music and entertainment for more than five decades. Together with his longtime collaborator Benny Andersson, he co-wrote some of the most successful songs in popular music history, contributing to ABBA’s worldwide success of more than 400 million records sold.

Alongside his creative career, Björn has become a leading voice at the intersection of creativity, technology and intellectual property. He has long championed fair remuneration and transparency for creators in the digital economy, advocating for frameworks that ensure innovation benefits both audiences and the people who create cultural works.

Björn serves as President of CISAC, the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers, representing more than five million creators worldwide through its global network of authors’ societies. In this role, he works with creators, industry leaders and policymakers to promote strong copyright protections, fair remuneration and sustainable creative ecosystems in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world.

Björn is co-founder of the Music Rights Awareness Foundation, an initiative dedicated to helping creators around the world better understand and manage their rights in an increasingly digital marketplace. He has been an influential contributor to international discussions on copyright, data, artificial intelligence and the future of creative industries.

As co-founder of Pophouse Entertainment, Björn has pioneered new approaches to entertainment that combine creativity, technology and intellectual property. Pophouse is the company behind ABBA Voyage, the groundbreaking concert experience that uses advanced digital technologies to create immersive live performances, attracting millions of visitors and demonstrating new possibilities for the future of entertainment.

Björn is also actively engaged in discussions on how artificial intelligence can support creativity while safeguarding human authorship, cultural diversity and creators’ rights. Through his work with international organisations, policymakers and industry leaders, he advocates for a human-centred approach to AI that promotes innovation while ensuring that creators remain recognised, respected and fairly compensated.
