Acapo Onsagers invites you to an exciting and relevant seminar during this year’s Kongsberg Agenda! In collaboration with inFuture and Sildre, we put the spotlight on a topic that concerns everyone who works with technology and innovation.
In a world where industrial espionage is becoming increasingly sophisticated and extensive, both small and large players face major challenges. How do we protect our patents, trademarks and trade secrets from theft and misuse? And how can Europe compete in the artificial intelligence race without losing valuable intellectual property rights?
Join us for an hour filled with insights and concrete advice from experts, with time for networking and lunch served after the event.
Program
- Industrial espionage in practice – Geir Hågen Karlsen gives a general insight into how espionage can threaten Norwegian technology and competitiveness.
- How to protect your assets – Acapo Onsagers shares key principles to prevent stolen technology and intellectual property from being misused.
- Europe and the AI race – inFuture discusses where Europe stands in the development of artificial intelligence, and how we can realize gains without losing key assets along the way.
