You will learn how you can collaborate in the ongoing transformation, get insights into the areas we are working on and get inspiration from the real world.<\/p>\n

It is not only Sweden that view AI as a transformative technology. Many nations have now developed a national AI strategy and the first two that released theirs were Canada followed by Japan. No strategies are alike and nations focuses in different areas within the field of AI. That is why it is so interesting to have a deeper look at theses strategies and discuss what experts think these different focus areas will lead to.<\/p>\n

Format:<\/strong> Online, with tracks on key focus areas
\nFree registration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The program on 17 November will be divided into six tracks:<\/p>\n

Track 1 – National AI strategy (CET, Central European Time 14.00-15.10)<\/strong>
\nInnovation plays an important role in how competitive a nation stays over time – and it is important for the quality of life for a nation’s citizens. Being one of the most innovative countries in the world, the Swedish national strategy for driving innovation is of special interest. Will Sweden stay competitive and innovative also in the future?<\/p>\n

On the same note we are also in – what many express as – a global race of AI. Therefore we will have a closer look at the AI strategy of two of the world leading nations within the field – Canada and Japan – and compare them to what is happening in the Nordics.

It has the potential to improve the day-to-day life of healthcare practitioners, letting them spend more time caring for patients and saving more lives.
