What are Oslo’s competitive advantages in the modern tech economy? Join us for these two sessions exploring both Impact Investments and User Data on March 10!

Nordic Impact and Katapult Accelerator are examples of the increased attention towards impact startups in the region, and many corporates have been working for years with environmental, social and governance as fundamental investment criteria. Business solutions to the sustainable development goals are the obvious choice.

Will impact investment be the new normal in the Nordics?

In the second panel talk we will discuss user data and how tech is both an enabler for and threat towards privacy. Will GDPR slow us down in the global fight for machine learning tools?

The event is organized by Oslo Business Region, Nordic Impact and Oslo Freedom Forum. We invite founders, investors, tech people and curious minds to join us. Welcome!
