    NCC-NO: “ECSO-VentureNet” A cross-sector platform to strengthen cybersecurity and resilience in critical sectors.

    april 1, 2025 @ 8:00 am – september 30, 2025 @ 5:00 pm CEST

    (PROJECT)

    In recent years, cybersecurity has gained increased attention as a critical development area for society and industry to mitigate risk and enable data-driven value creation. The rapid global expansion of cybercrime has raised awareness of daunting challenges in cybersecurity for the public sector and businesses alike. Geopolitics and the Covid-19 pandemic have raised awareness of risks to security, safety and supply chain disruption, and a need for solutions to ensure resilience of digital systems and supply chains for critical sectors.

    In Europe, cybersecurity solutions and expertise have a wider role beyond mitigating and preventing risk and cybercrime. Privacy-enhancing technologies are enablers for data sharing and artificial intelligence (AI) in compliance with EU regulations. As such, cybersecurity can play a key role enabling businesses and communities to unlock data silos and generate value from data sharing and AI, increasing productivity with less resource consumption.

    The ECSO-VentureNet project aims to bring together cyber solution providers, experts and stakeholders from public and private sectors to collaborate on project establishment and research addressing key challenges and opportunities in cybersecurity, supply chain resilience and data-driven innovation.

    The project will plan a 3-day European cybersecurity conference in Oslo in collaboration with the European Cyber Security Organization (ECSO), North European Cybersecurity Cluster (NECC), Norsk Regnesentral (NR), and SFI NORCICS (among others). Preparation for the event will entail applied research and active engagement of SMEs, investors, industry clusters, and public sector partners through existing partner networks.

    The events and research are intended to develop a community, collaboration platform and framework for managing cybersecurity, supply chain resilience and data-driven innovation, including access to digital tools to find knowledge, partners and markets in Norway and Europe.

    BITS, BYTES OG BEREDSKAP: DIGITALT FORSVAR FRA KOMMUNALT TIL NORDISK NIVÅ

    Om arrangementet

    Norge står i en alvorlig sikkerhetspolitisk situasjon der digital infrastruktur på alle nivåer er særlig utsatt. Som et av verdens mest digitaliserte land er vi ekstra sårbare for sammensatte trusler. PSTs trusselvurderinger indikerer økt risiko for hybride angrep som kan lamme alt fra lokale helsetjenester til nasjonal forsyningssikkerhet. 

    Det digitale sikkerhetsarbeidet må styrkes på tvers av geografiske nivåer. I kommunene hviler samfunnskritiske tjenester på stabil kommunikasjon, samtidig som nordisk samarbeid blir stadig viktigere for å sikre robust infrastruktur i en urolig verden. 

    Langtidsplanen for forsvarssektoren understreker at i møte med sammensatte trusler er det nødvendig med sterkere sivil-militært samarbeid. Viktige beslutninger om utvikling og sikkerhet i det digitale rom blir i stor grad tatt av kommersielle og ikke-statlige aktører. Dette krever et tettere samarbeid mellom offentlige myndigheter på alle forvaltningsnivåer – fra kommuner og fylker til nasjonale og nordiske organer – og private aktører for å sikre digital robusthet i hele Norden. 

    Hvordan kan vi sammen skape et sterkere digitalt forsvar som fungerer både lokalt på tvers av landegrenser? 

    På dette arrangementet vil vi få et eksempel på en kommunes digitale beredskap, Posten deler erfaringer med konkrete sikkerhetstrusler, og vi har med oss en historie fra Ukraina og hvordan de sikrer kommunikasjonsløsninger på tross av strømbrudd og brutte linjer.

    Event Description:

    In today’s rapidly evolving geopolitical climate, cybersecurity and digital sovereignty are more critical than ever for Europe’s resilience—and for investments in AI, healthcare, and other critical sectors. Responding to these global shifts, Norway and Europe now face tremendous opportunities to lead in artificial intelligence, secure infrastructure, and trustworthy data sharing.  

     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.

  • NOKIOS Conference 2025 (ICT in Public Sector)

    NOKIOS Conference 2025 (ICT in Public Sector)

    oktober 21, 2025 @ 9:00 am – oktober 23, 2025 @ 2:15 pm CEST

    (EVENT)

    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?
