We are taking the event to Oslo to celebrate the launch of our Norwegian Data Center and we hope you can make it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can expect an engaging morning focused on the next chapter for European digital sovereignty. With geopolitical tensions intensifying, AI adoption accelerating and data sovereignty under closer examination than ever, the timing couldn\u2019t be more relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our new Norwegian data centre now live, UpCloud is deepening its commitment to the region, helping organisations stay secure and perform at scale while keeping data firmly within Europe. Join us for an exclusive view into what sovereign cloud infrastructure looks like today, and where it\u2019s headed next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why you should attend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across Europe, organisations are navigating growing complexity as they work to maintain data sovereignty without sacrificing resilience or competitiveness. At this event, we\u2019ll explore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The emerging pressures facing Norwegian organisations as global political developments reshape the digital risk landscape, including the implications of the latest Trump administration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The most critical vulnerabilities organisations face today and how a forward-looking cloud strategy can address future risks before they materialise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How Europe\u2019s technology environment is evolving, and what those changes mean for innovation, operational continuity, regulatory compliance and long-term strategy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How sovereign, high-performance cloud infrastructure can be used to enhance resilience while enabling new growth and innovation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside industry experts, we\u2019ll unpack what\u2019s changing, the risks these shifts create, and the opportunities they present for organisations committed to strengthening European digital sovereignty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Built on Collaboration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UpCloud Connect Oslo is shaped by partnership and shared expertise. Together with partners Computas and our valued customers Geomatikk, we\u2019re bringing diverse, hands-on perspectives to show how sovereignty-driven solutions can safeguard European principles while still driving real innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re also delighted to feature Endre Dings\u00f8r Jr., Founder of the Choose European Initiative and Advisor at Sovereign Advise, bringing a strong European perspective on technology independence and strategic digital decision-making.
