Sovereignty in cloud and AI for the public sector — experiences, frameworks, and real choices

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.
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.
12:45 - pause
13:00 - Experience reports from 3 public sector organizations. Three short talks by SIKT, KS Digital og Miljødirektoratet: What works? Whats difficult? Which choices have they made and why?
14:00 - DNB shares experiences with going all inn with 1 cloud provider.
14:30 - Paneldebate: Exitstrategi, sovereignty and the road ahead Open debate moderated by Mikael Brevik and Nikolai Norman Andersen (Variant).
15:30 - Food, drinks and conversations. Easy foods and drinks. There may be an additional inspirational talk during the food.
18:00 - end
Variant is hosting a meetup in Trondheim Agile, where our own CTO, Mikael Brevik, gives us his arguments for how generative AI can be part of the product strategy rather than being the strategy.
