As part of Energy Valley’s AI Energy Forum, this breakfast seminar focuses on ensuring the security and control of energy data and critical infrastructure in an era where AI and hybrid cloud technologies introduce both groundbreaking innovations and significant cybersecurity risks.

Join us on October 8th at Aker Tech House and gain insights from top experts on cybersecurity and data management, and network with CTOs and industry leaders driving digitalization and the green energy transition.

What to expect

While AI and hybrid cloud technologies offer remarkable potential for transforming the energy sector, they also require us to rethink how we secure critical data and manage access in increasingly complex digital environments.

The stakes are high: with data flowing from countless sources – customer information, operational data, IoT sensor readings – and stored across multiple cloud environments (public, private, and hybrid), security gaps can occur. Meanwhile, regulatory frameworks like GDPR and the AI Act are constantly evolving, introducing additional compliance challenges. Besides, the energy sector is particularly vulnerable to cyber threats, with attackers looking to exploit vulnerabilities and target sensitive information.

Fortunately, leading environments in Norway are deeply committed to addressing these challenges!

To frame the conversation, our experts from DNV, Advania, HPE, Otee, The Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM), and Thommessen will answer three critical questions:

1. How do you approach the issue of data ownership, control, and access across hybrid cloud and AI scenarios?
2. With whom do you seek collaboration or dialogue to address these challenges effectively?
3. What (or who) are the primary threats or risks associated with data governance in the energy industry?

Speakers

• Patrick Andersson, Director of Information Security and IT, DNV Cyber/Nixu
  Business resilience starts with Cyber Security
• Anna Lind, Enterprise Security Architect at Advania
  What does the AI Act mean from a security perspective?
• Patrick Couch, Sales Specialist HPC & AI at HPE
  Controlling data & AI across complex environments through transparency and understanding
• Radek Janik, Co-Founder & CTO of OTee
  Best Practice Industry 4.0: Data Architecture
• Håkon Styri, Senior Advisor at The Norwegian National Security Authority (NSM)
  AI Risk Management – How to address the threat of Shadow AI
• Eli Karine Navestad and Christopher Sparre-Enger Clausen, Lawyers at Thommessen
  Managing the legal risks of boardroom and management liability in terms of data, cyber security, and AI

Interactive panel debate

Panelists from Advania, Thommessen, DNV, HPE, Otee, and NSM will take part in an interactive discussion moderated by Paul Morgan, Director of Cloud & AI Services at HPE. Get ready for an in-depth exploration of these critical topics, with practical takeaways you can implement in your own organization.

Om arrangementet

I en tid der digitale løsninger og muligheter raskt endrer landskapet i alle industrier, står energibransjen ved en kritisk skillevei. Regjeringens visjon, som uttrykt i “Nasjonal strategi for kunstig intelligens” (2020), er at Norge skal kapitalisere på innovasjonspotensialet som kunstig intelligens (KI) tilbyr. Med en sterk kunnskapsbase innen olje og gass, samt en voksende fornybar energisektor, har Norge en unik mulighet til å lede an i integreringen av KI-teknologier for å forbedre effektivitet, bærekraft, sikkerhet og produktivitet. 

I september 2023 kunngjorde statsminister Jonas Gahr Støre en investering på én milliard kroner i forskning på KI og digital teknologi.  

Med fokus på februar 2024s annonsering, er målet å kanalisere denne “KI-milliarden” til opprettelsen av flere KI-sentre, en strategi som har møtt både applaus og kritikk. 

Kritikere peker på utfordringer med fragmentering og siloarbeid som kan hemme nasjonalt og internasjonalt samarbeid, samt utfordringer ved å kunne tiltrekke seg global ekspertise. Dette står i kontrast til Sveriges WASP-program, som bl.a. med nesten 5 milliarder kroner (SEK) i støtte fra Wallenberg-familien, har satset stort på en mer sentralisert tilnærming.   

Innenfor energisektoren reiser dette viktige spørsmål: Har Norge, med sine svært gode forutsetninger og allerede etablerte sterke miljøer, det som kreves for å ikke bare følge, men også lede an i KI-utviklingen?  

Hvordan kan vi best utnytte KI innen bl.a. smart grids, prediktivt vedlikehold, værprognoser for fornybar energiproduksjon, trading, CCUS etc.? 

Og hvordan kan vi sikre at Norge ikke bare holder tritt, men setter standarden for innovasjon og anvendelse av KI i energibransjen? 

Disse spørsmålene står sentralt i vår diskusjon, og vi inviterer ledere, eksperter og innovatører fra både energibransjen og KI-feltet til å utforske veien fremover.  

Sammen kan vi kartlegge en kurs som sikrer Norges posisjon som en ledende nasjon i den globale energiovergangen, drevet av de mulighetene som kunstig intelligens tilbyr. 

Arrangementet innledes av Silvija Seres, en fremtredende KI-ekspert og strategisk rådgiver med bakgrunn fra Oxford og Silicon Valley.

Om arrangementet

Norsk suksess i vinter-OL har vist oss at ingen vinner alene. Bak medaljene ligger sterkt felleskap, samarbeid og kompetansedeling til grunn. Olympiatoppens kraftsamling av ressurser og tette samhandling med særforbund og forskningsinstitusjoner gjør både de beste bedre, og de beste flere. 

Nå står Norge på terskelen til en ny type gullmedalje: å bli verdensledende innen fornybar energi.

Dessverre må vi erkjenne at Norges energiomstilling har vært som å gå på ski i tungt føre med både feil ski og teknikk:

Nyinnførte skatter tvinger oppstartsbedrifter til å etablere seg i utlandet, og norske bedrifter lokkes til USA på grunn av enorme subsidier. Regjeringen godkjente 19 nye olje- og gassprosjekter i 2023, mens store fornybarselskaper som Ørsted trekker seg ut av Norge. Aksjekursen til Equinor gikk opp 10% da det ble kjent at de ikke vant havvindauksjonen i Sørlige Nordsjø.

Når andre nasjoner suser forbi oss i løypa mot grønnere energiløsninger, er det bekymringsverdig at norske aktører belønnes på børser hvis de ikke investerer i fornybart.

Dersom en liten nasjon som Norge skal snu denne utviklingen og unngå en dårlig plassering i den grønne omstillingen, må vi jobbe sammen og ha lyst til å vinne.

Derfor spør vi: hvordan skaper vi fornybarbransjens svar på Olympiatoppen? Hvilke konkurransefortrinn har vi som nasjon i en situasjon hvor det grønne skiftet er satt på pause, og investorer bare er opptatt av utbytte, olje og gass? 

Energy Valley og First House inviterer til dialog om Norges konkurransefortrinn innen fornybarbransjen.

Hvordan kan samarbeid øke vinnersjansene til norske bedrifter? Vil industrien og politikerne det samme? Har vi «vinnerskallen» som kreves for å konkurrere i verdensklassen og ta globalt lederskap? Og klarer vi å hente oss inn etter en særdeles treg etappe? 

Arrangementet innledes av tidligere mestvinnende alpinist Kjetil André Aamodt som deler erfaringer fra å skape en kultur for samarbeid og kunnskapsdeling blant enere og individualister. 

Vår moderator, Cecilie Ditlev-Simonsen, leder oss gjennom dialogen med deltakere fra industrien, finans, gründermiljøet og politikken.

Etter det offisielle programmet inviterer vi til en lett matbit og mingling på terrassen og i foajeen. Vi gleder oss til å se deg der!
