The public sector is in the midst of two shifts: increasing adoption of cloud services and the rapid spread of AI. Both promise better services and more efficient governance. But both also raise fundamental questions about control, sovereignty, and legal room to manoeuvre. We invite you to an afternoon of experience sharing and expert debate, where the organisations actually making these choices today share what they've learned.

Program

12:00 - Welcome Short introduction of today, by Variant.

12:10 - Safe adoption of cloud in public sector AWS Norway Solution Architect gives us a insight into what sovereign cloud means; technically, judicially and operationally.
