The initiative brings together prominent actors in cyber security in Sweden and Norway with the mission to strengthen business development in the area and at the same time increase access to expertise and knowledge sharing within and across national borders.

In the project that started in June 2023, the actors work together Digital Inlandet, The Norwegian Cluster for Cyber Security, The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Høgskolen i Innlandet, Karlstad municipality and Karlstad University.

The long-term objective is to contribute to increased awareness of the importance of digital security among companies and organizations and to facilitate new startups and spinoffs. By promoting innovation and collaboration, the project will play an important role in ensuring a safer digital future for companies and organizations in Sweden and Norway.

Som en del av utbytet i projektet har nätverket Security Divas Sweden uppstått med inspiration från norska förlagan Security Divas som fokuserar på att lyfta kvinnor som är, eller vill bli, verksamma inom informationssäkerhet. Startskottet för det svenska nätverket är en konferens 7-8 november. Läs mer om Security Divas Sweden HERE.
