Digital North – Nordic-Baltic ministerial conference on digitalisation, 25 April
Digitisation is a key component in the development of a competitive edge in Europe. This is one of the focus areas of Norway’s presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers this year, whose main priorities are the Nordic Region in transition, the Nordic Region in Europe, and the Nordic Region in the world.
The Nordic and Baltic countries rank highly in the EU’s Digital Economy and Society Index. Denmark tops the list with Norway second, Finland third, and Sweden fourth. Digital North will put closer political co-operation on digitalisation in the Nordic Region and Europe on the agenda. Topics that will be discussed at the conference include transition, cross-border digital services, smart societies, and the sharing economy.
Digital North will be attended by Nordic and Baltic ministers responsible for digitalisation policy, as well as representatives from businesses in the two regions.
