Nordic Edge Expo

Nordic Edge Expo – The leading smart city event in the Nordics.

Nordic Edge Expo is a unique meeting place for decision-makers, technology enthusiasts, entrepreneurs, start-ups and investors with smart city ambitions. Here, the public sector meets private businesses and organizations to share experiences, discuss challenges and present solutions.

The 7th edition of Nordic Edge Expo & Conference, the leading Smart City event in the Nordics, will be a hybrid version in 2021. We are planning for a full–scale TV-production from 20-23 September directly from the heart of Stavanger, and physical meeting places around the city centre.

Keynote talks are to be presented from the heart of European legislation, Brussels, across the Nordics and internationally. The afternoon presents in-depth parallel sessions and workshops hosted by a wide variety of partners. We will dive into the challenges and the opportunities of today, and tomorrow; we will discuss, showcase best-practice solutions, and find new collaborations.

Monday: Come Clean
Smart energy concepts for a greener future. Critical energy infrastructure, smart energy grids, the Nordic approach to 100 climate-neutral cities, as well as digital twins, and the opportunities and criticism of battery technology, will be addressed.

Tuesday: Life Actually
Cities are developed for and by people. It’s about empowering citizens – innovative procurement and life-long learning. What is going on in the minds and hearts of the citizens? Join us for talks on Post-COVID mental health, public-private partnerships for community building and business development, and practical tools for citizen engagement.

Wednesday: On the Move
The mobility of tomorrow, on land, at sea and in the air. The experience and future of autonomous mobility, urban airports, and micro-mobility in our cities, including ethics and the aspect of security will be highlighted.

Thursday: Places & Spaces
How will we live and work together tomorrow? We are reinventing our human-made surroundings in an attractive and more sustainable way. There will be talks on the New European Bauhaus, the re-purposing of our city centres and the built environment.

Our mission is to deliver the most valuable Smart City meeting place in the Nordics. Together with our many wonderful partners from the private sector, public sector, academia and start-up community we will work hard to bring people together and deliver an insightful event, as we have done every year since 2015.
