About this event
Designing the smart, connected society of tomorrow
Built on EU standards and open technologies, giving cities and system providers real control over data, architecture, and costs.
Join us for a focused deep dive into how we can build and scale future-ready smart societies. We’ll explore practical strategies, breakthrough innovations, and collaborative models that turn bold ideas into real impact.
DigIT Hub, Innotech TaskForce, IFE, OiL FIWARE iHub and partners invite you to an event focused on practical answers to these questions — with real-world examples from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden.
We will explore topics such as:
- Open source, APIs, and standardized architecture based on FIWARE
- Structuring, securing, sharing and monetizing data
- Legal and financial frameworks for managing city environments, water, energy, and mobility
- The role of AI and Digital Twins in connected systems
- Sensors, communication, access control, system security, and data management
