This year’s event spotlights Nordic solutions that are shaping the future on:
Green and Digital Transition: Innovations that drive environmental sustainability and digitalisation in an increasingly connected world. This thematic track covers circular economy solutions and digitalisation topics such as connectivity, data, AI and cybersecurity as well as 5G/6G technologies. We seek responses to current questions regarding major global transitions and their needs – from rare earth minerals to the growing need for electricity.
 
Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security: In this thematic track, Nordic companies showcase their innovations in agriculture and discuss how they can be tailored to the different circumstances of Nigeria, West Africa, and beyond. We find out, among other questions, how sustainable agriculture and food security interconnect and how the former can support the latter.
 
E-Health and Wellbeing: Solutions to enhance healthcare access for all, while not forgetting the cruciality of inclusion and equity of those solutions. How can new technologies provide more accessible and affordable healthcare in a vast country like Nigeria and how can we address the growing needs of an increasingly large population in a socially responsible and sustainable way?
