WEBINAR: How can we work to make the most of artificial intelligence?

 

Webinar:

How can we work to make the most of artificial intelligence?

- Collaboration as a powerful tool to create value from artificial intelligence

Collaboration between universities, research institutions and industry is important to realize the benefits of developing and using artificial intelligence (AI). That is why we have gathered the key players in the Norwegian AI landscape:
NORA - Norwegian AI Research Consortium, Norwegian Open AI Lab, Cluster for Applied AI and Digital Norway.

Together, we represent four strong environments in AI and cover the entire value chain - from research and development to application and commercialization. Now we want to work more and better together with the goal of creating value from AI and putting Norway on the AI map.

Curious how to make it happen? Join us for a webinar on November 19!

Webinar: Smart Water

Webinar: Smart Water

Welcome to the continuation of the Smart Water webinar series with knowledge sharing about smart water, opportunities and challenges!

Smart water products and digital water services can optimize the water industry, improve existing solutions and can contribute to creating good sustainable solutions for citizens and municipalities. At the same time, smart water solutions can help us implement the UN's sustainable development goals.

With the help of smart water meters, for example, leaks and deviating water quality can be detected more quickly and the municipality can use the data to, for example, offer water pricing according to consumption, which will hopefully help to raise awareness among end users and provide a better basis for decision-making.

The webinar will prepare the ground for those of you who want to get started or further develop the work that has already been done, and is aimed at municipalities and suppliers.

The webinar series is organized under the auspices of NCE Smart Energy Markets and Arbeidsgruppe Smart Vann, Smart Innovation Norway.

Date: Monday 14 June 2021

Time: 09.00-11.30

Location: Zoom (link to the webinar is available upon registration). Put the day in your calendar!

Target group: Municipalities, specialist communities, suppliers

Course (webinar): Game technology in practice

 

Video: Join the webinar about gaming technology!

Course (webinar): Game technology in practice

- How can I use gaming technology in my company?

If you want to know how you can simulate processes and product development in a more affordable way, you should join the webinar series on game technology in week 24 !

The purpose of the course is to provide a basic introduction to "real-time technology", which is used in games, among other things, so that businesses gain basic skills that enable them to start using technology from the game world in concrete, value-creating applications.

As a participant you get:

  • Insight into what gaming technology is
  • Inspiration through concrete examples
  • Concrete advice and tips on what you can get started with - and with whom

Technology with a starting point in the gaming world already has a significant influence on our everyday lives, on the business world and on society in general - often without us realizing that it is gaming technology at the bottom. Technology development is ever faster and expectations are rising for areas where game technology can make a big difference. This can affect the way we work, think and interact, for example in training, competence development, evaluation, preparedness and profiling.

The course is held as a series of three two-hour webinars that build on each other, followed by voluntary "speed dating" with presenters and/or other participants on the last day. Here you will have the opportunity to discuss how game technology can be relevant in your own company, as well as discuss any collaborative projects.

It is FREE for all our cluster members in the NCE Smart Energy Markets and Cluster for Applied AI to participate. For non-members, it costs NOK 990 to participate. This is invoiced after the webinar.

WHAT:

Three two-hour webinars on game technology

Business delegation to Sweden - with AI at the centre

 

Unique opportunity to participate in a business delegation to Sweden!

Innovation Norway invites Norwegian companies to participate in the business delegation to Sweden. It is happening in connection with a planned visit by Crown Prince Haakon.

In this context, the Cluster for Applied AI has had the opportunity to put artificial intelligence on the agenda during the delegation's first stop in Gothenburg. Here we will put together an event where we will have the opportunity to showcase products and solutions from selected partners in the cluster.

There will also be an opportunity to get to know our partner AI Innovation of Sweden in Gothenburg, and their competent environment. It is here, at Lindholmen Science Park, that the event will take place.

Being part of a business delegation is a unique chance for companies to build networks and increase their knowledge of the Swedish market.

For partners who are interested in participating or can offer products and solutions where AI is part of the technology picture, interest in having their solution demonstrated from the stage can be reported to cluster coordinator Marianne Bjerkman: marianne.bjerkman@smartinovationnorway.com
