Each day at Oslo Tech Show begins with a moment designed to inspire, challenge, and set the pace for everything that follows. This year, the event is officially opened by Karianne Tung, Norway’s Minister of Digitalisation and Public Governance, marking a powerful start to two days dedicated to innovation and progress.

The Morning Seminars bring world-class voices to the stage – free and open for everyone – offering extraordinary perspectives on innovation, exploration, and transformation.

On Day 1, Jannicke Mikkelsen, Norway’s first astronaut, award-winning cinematographer, and Vehicle Commander of SpaceX’s Fram2 polar mission, shares her remarkable journey of courage and vision.

On Day 2, Patrick Huston, Brigadier General (Ret.) from the FBI and a leading authority on AI, cybersecurity, and national security law, delivers unique insights at the intersection of technology and security.

Two mornings. Two extraordinary voices. One powerful start to Oslo Tech Show.

The keynotes are the moments that set the pace for Oslo Tech Show.
International visionaries and thought leaders share ideas and perspectives that go beyond trends – delivering inspiration that redefines how we think about technology, business, and society.

Exploring themes such as AI, cybersecurity, cloud, data centres, devops, and mobility, the keynote sessions embody competence development at the highest level.
They are free and open for everyone – created to spark bold thinking, challenge conventions, and ignite the conversations that shape tomorrow.

In a world powered by data, artificial intelligence is no longer optional – it’s the engine driving change across every industry.
