    European data space for smart communities (DS4SSCC-DEP). “DS4SSCC”. Accessed 13.08.2025. https://www.ds4sscc.eu/home.

    DS4SSCC–DEP is funded by the European Union Digital Europe Work Programme 2021-2022 under Grant Agreement No. 101123342. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Commission.

    The European Data Space for Smart Communities (DS4SSCC-DEP) initiative is a pivotal deployment following the preparatory action for a Data Space for Sustainable and Smart Cities and Communities (DS4SSCC). 

    Emphasising sustainability aspects and diversity in communities, DS4SSCC developed a multi-stakeholder data governance scheme, created a blueprint for the European DS4SSCC, delivered priority datasets, and developed a roadmap towards a mature DS4SSCC.

    DS4SSCC-DEP’s vision revolves around creating a well-governed federated territorial, place-based data space for smart communities available for developers and infrastructure providers, aligning with the prospects outlined in Europe’s Digital Decade objectives. This approach distinguishes itself from sectoral data spaces by encompassing diverse domains, and underpinning governance across all levels of society.

    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.
