    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)

    October 21 @ 9:00 am October 23 @ 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?
