Free webinar for SMB companies in the blue economy: AI and Digital Maturity - for developing and scaling your business

AI is evolving rapidly. Most businesses are not. The question is no longer what the technology can do — but how ready we are to adopt it.

Join our DMA Sprint to understand where your business stands digitally — and what it will take to move forward.

Designed as a focused and practical program with a limited number of seats, to ensure value and results.

Nordic Edge, EDIH Oceanopolis, and partners invite start-ups and established businesses in the blue economy to a practical introduction to how technology strengthens competitiveness, productivity, and innovation.

Data utilization, AI, automation, and robotics are becoming increasingly important for building a robust digital backbone in businesses. This affects how we work, make decisions, and develop new services.

Digitalization in the blue economy is about connecting data, technology, and people to create better decisions, more efficient operations, and increased competitiveness. Through the DMA Sprint, you get a concrete starting point for understanding where you stand — and what it takes to take the next step.
