About this event

  • Event lasts 9 hours

How can we take control of data – and build a smarter, more cost-efficient society?

How can we design and implement a smart, connected society that is resilient, efficient, and future-ready – based on EU standards and open technologies like FIWARE?
How can municipalities and system providers regain control over data, architecture, and costs?

Join us for an inspiring deep dive into how we can build and scale a smart, connected society ready to meet the challenges of today – and tomorrow. Together, we’ll explore real-world strategies, cutting-edge innovations, and collaborative approaches that turn bold ideas into lasting 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
