With the launch of this year’s ASF report, based on over 800 responses, we spotlight the most pressing challenges and groundbreaking solutions in the industry. We bring together the Nordic region’s leading decision-makers, CIOs, IT buyers, and sustainability experts in a unique forum where knowledge is shared, networks are strengthened, and actionable plans are shaped.
This year, we focus particularly on artificial intelligence (AI) as a transformative force in the green transition. We’ll explore how AI can revolutionize resource optimization, energy efficiency, and sustainable innovation—and how collaboration and transparency can accelerate the journey toward our shared environmental goals.
