Norsk Regnesentral la ut dette på nytt
We had a very warm and insightful Norwegian-Finnish Industrial Workshop and Matchmaking Event in the topics of cybersecurity and resilience, Nov. 18-19, 2024 in Oslo, at DNV and Norsk Regnesentral, with presentations and discussions from companies, research organisations and critical infrastructure stakeholders. Norwegian and Finnish companies, research organisations, governmental stakeholders and critical infrastructure stakeholders have a great potential to utilize their high-level competence in IT/OT cybersecurity together, for creating impact in global markets. The momentum is now! It was a pleasure to co-organize the event together with Christian André Haukaas, Sandeep Pirbhulal, Habtamu Abie, Wolfgang Leister Wanja Bordewich, Sokratis Katsikas, Frank Børre Pedersen, Pietari Sarjakivi, Mika Hållfast, and many other colleagues from Norway and Finland. Special thanks for the Finnish team for your presentations and contributions in the event / let plan next steps in collaboration with the Norwegian colleagues!
