Well-attended networking breakfast on data leakage, digital sovereignty and social media
Do you know what you are really sharing? This was one of the questions that set the tone for Compare’s networking breakfast on 4 June, where around 70 participants gathered at Karlstad Innovation Park to share insights and perspectives on our digital vulnerability – and how we can take back control of our digital lives.
We focus on initiatives for digital development, innovation, learning, and tomorrow’s business.
Societal challenges require collaboration. Compare mobilizes the expertise needed for joint efforts where technology and digitalization are key. Together, we drive change with future-oriented technology such as AI, the Internet of Things, and high-performance computer systems in four focus areas.
01
Cyber and societal security
Investments in cyber and societal security are crucial to protecting our digital and physical infrastructures against threats and attacks. Through digital preparedness, we prevent problems while maintaining confidence in digital systems and services.
Investments in the area of smart and sustainable societies contribute to creating the societies of the future with the help of smart technology and sustainability initiatives. The key to smart, safe, sustainable, and vibrant societies lies at the intersection of digitalization and sustainability.
Investments in digital health innovation are crucial to meeting the challenges of the future. By increasing the use of digital technology and leveraging health data, we can find new ways to promote health. This benefits companies developing new solutions, the public sector, and individuals alike.
Investments in the area of talent attraction contribute to the supply of skills and competitiveness, which also increases the region’s attractiveness. Access to tech-specialized skills is crucial to keeping pace with developments. New ideas and perspectives contribute to increased innovation capacity.
“Together with Compare, we applied for and received funding from MSB for a joint initiative to improve corporate cybersecurity. It has been a very successful initiative that has already reached many companies.”
