Politicians

Public officials at all levels (EU, national, regional and local)

Private sector representatives

Policymakers

Academics

Journalists

Civil society and citizens

The event serves as a communication and networking platform fostering cooperation, exchanging knowledge and addressing regional and urban challenges. Each edition features a unique motto, thematic focus and visual identity that align with the EU’s political priorities.

By bringing together a diverse community, the #EURegionsWeek creates an open and collaborative space in Brussels and across Europe for capacity-building, learning and experience-sharing.

NTNU enhet for konferanser. “NOKIOS”. Accessed 07.08.2025. https://www.nokios.no.

Norsk konferanse for IKT i offentlig sektor (NOKIOS) er en møteplass for alle aktører som kan bidra til bedre og mer effektive offentlige tjenester i Norge ved god bruk av IKT. I 2025 arrangeres konferansen for 19. gang.

Programmet i NOKIOS 2025 bygger på en felles forståelse av at vi navigerer i et digitalt landskap i rask endring. Konferansen tar i bruk kompassmetaforen for å illustrere hvordan offentlig sektor må orientere seg i et komplekst, dynamisk og usikkert teknologisk og geopolitisk terreng.

Vi ser på digitalisering som en retningsgiver for bedre tjenester, høyere tillit og en mer effektiv forvaltning.

Den røde tråden gjennom konferansen er å bevege seg fra forståelse til handling: Hvordan kan vi ta lærdom fra virkelighetssjokkene vi har opplevd, fra KI-revolusjonen til geopolitisk uro?

Og hvordan kan vi omsette dem i konkrete digitale tiltak som styrker offentlig sektor, og bidra til realiseringen av den nasjonale digitaliseringsstrategien frem mot 2030 – og gjennom dette bidra til et bedre samfunn?

Join us during Oslo Innovation Week for a unique seminar where leading experts and investors discuss concrete advances and strategic opportunities in sovereign AI, cybersecurity, and innovation in critical sectors. Hear the latest on European regulatory trends and pioneering pilots from Norwegian and European leaders, including AI Mind, one of Europe’s leading projects in applied AI for early detection of dementia.

Through two engaging panel discussions, we’ll explore:

– Privacy-enhancing data sharing and security for trustworthy AI in healthcare and critical sectors.

– Securing federated and sovereign digital infrastructure in a changing geopolitical and security context.

– Investment opportunities at the intersection of healthcare innovation, cybersecurity, and digital sovereignty.

This seminar aims to strengthen collaboration between Norwegian and European investors and marks the start of a wider initiative, culminating in a North European Cyber conference in Oslo in November 2025. If you are an investor, policymaker, CISO, or decision-maker in a critical sector, this is a must-attend event to help shape Europe’s digital and geopolitical future.
