🌍 Why this conference matters

The Nordic countries share more than geography. We share values, trust, transparency, equity, and healthcare systems built on strong public institutions and high-quality data. This creates a rare opportunity: to scale AI solutions that are not only innovative, but ethical, safe and clinically impactful.

This conference is designed as a strategic meeting place for university hospitals across the New Nordics. A space to move from pilots to production, from isolated initiatives to coordinated progress, and from ambition to real-world impact.

From strategy to practice

AI is already transforming diagnostics, treatment planning, patient flow, and clinical decision support. At this conference, the focus is firmly on what works — and how to make it work at scale.

You will hear from:

• Nordic university hospitals that have AI solutions in production
• Experts on national digital infrastructures, health data and AI
• Leaders shaping the regulatory and strategic landscape for AI in healthcare

Together, we will explore how to bridge innovation, governance and clinical reality.

A platform for collaboration and leadership

The goal of the conference is clear: to create a collaborative space for knowledge-sharing, showcasing innovation, and building new partnerships across borders and institutions.
