Artificial intelligence is opening an ocean of opportunities for the energy sector. While some companies are already exploring pilots and early use cases, the full potential is still largely unknown – and enormous. At the same time, Norway holds a unique advantage: within a relatively small geography, we bring together the full energy ecosystem – from production and infrastructure to technology, academia, finance, and government.
The AI Energy Cluster aims to harness this advantage and turn it into concrete collaboration, innovation, and international positioning. Join us on Friday, September 12, 08:15–09:00 (with optional bonus discussion until 09:30) for a webinar that combines strategic insights with a glimpse into the cluster’s action plan, budget, and expected impacts – provided we secure funding from Innovation Norway.
Panel Conversation – the highlight of the morning
Representatives from four leading companies and our new CEO will discuss why the energy sector needs a dedicated AI initiative, and what kind of collaborative projects could emerge when we join forces:
Panelists:
Robert Nyirede (Infinigrid)
Erling Aanerud (Green Digital)
Patrick Couch (Hewlett Packard Enterprise)
Vibeke Østlyngen (Energy Valley)

Energy Valley and Capgemini på Arendalsuka: Strømkrisen truer industriutviklingen. Hvordan rigger Norge for videre vekst?
13 – 13 Aug09:00 – 10:00
Edgars Bakeri
Norges kraftsystem er under press. Strømnettet vårt har ikke kapasitet til å møte etterspørselen fra ny industri, elektrifisering og grønn omstilling. Resultatet? Utsatte investeringer, høye priser – og i verste fall strømutkoblinger.
En rekke rapporter slår fast det samme: Vi trenger mer effekt, bedre nett – og smartere løsninger. Samtidig er den offentlige debatten ofte fastlåst i konfliktlinjer rundt vindkraft, «monstermaster» og lokal motstand.
Men finnes det andre veier frem?
Capgemini og Energy Valley inviterer til en engasjerende samtale om hvordan teknologi, fleksibilitet og smartere forbruk kan være nøkkelen til å avlaste nettet – og sikre kraft til ny industriutvikling. Vi samler politikere, eksperter og representanter fra næringslivet for å diskutere hva som må til for å sikre robust kraftforsyning og forutsigbarhet i et stadig mer elektrifisert samfunn.
– Hva gjør myndighetene for å sikre tilstrekkelig kapasitet i strømnettet? – Kan digital styring, lokal produksjon og batteriteknologi gi industrien større fleksibilitet? – Er små modulære reaktorer en del av løsningen – eller en avsporing? – Hvordan kan software, data og kunstig intelligens brukes til å optimalisere energibruken?
Vi ser nærmere på konkrete eksempler der effektkrevende lading løses gjennom smart styring av andre strømforbrukere.
Dette er ikke bare en strømdebatt. Det er en samtale om fremtiden for norsk industri, teknologi og grønn vekst. Er vi klare til å lade opp for neste kapittel?

Subsea – A Strategic Industrial Stronghold in Transition
The Eastern Norway region has long been home to world-leading subsea engineering environments – forming the foundation for what was originally established as Subsea Valley. In 2019, the cluster was renamed Energy Valley to reflect a broader commitment to the energy transition and a stronger emphasis on renewable technologies.
Still, a majority of Energy Valley’s 100+ members remain strongly anchored in subsea – particularly in the oil and gas sector. Over time, many have expanded their focus to support offshore wind, subsea cables and pipelines, carbon storage, and seabed minerals.
This TechThursday explores how subsea technology and innovation continue to evolve – not just as legacy infrastructure, but as a key enabler for the future energy system.
Agenda
08:00–08:05 | Welcome and Introduction By Energy Valley – From Subsea Valley to Energy Valley – Subsea expertise as a foundation for innovation, export, and cross-sector growth – Broader applications: oil & gas, offshore wind, subsea infrastructure, minerals
