Petter Bjørklund

Welcome to the 2nd edition of "Meet the AI Industry" – an NLDL 2026 side event hosted by SFI Visual Intelligence and UiT The Arctic University of Norway in collaboration with the Norwegian Artificial Intelligence Research Consortium (NORA) and NHO Arktis.

The event's aim is to provide a broader view of where in the industry AI skillsets are required. Often one might only hear about larger companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, etc, but so much more of our industry sector needs AI expertise.


Each industry partner will give a small presentation of their company, what they do and where they exist in the world. You'll then be able to talk to them after the presentations have ended.


The event will consist of eight short presentations from a diverse set of companies: four main presentations and four surprise presentations. The session will be followed by food and refreshments.

Registration for non-NLDL 2026 participants coming soon


These are our main presenters:

  • Cathrine Tegnander, Digital Subsurface Manager at Aker BP
  • Johannes Nilsen, CEO at Abdera
  • Njål Borch, Senior Engineer at Schibsted Media
  • Lars Adrian Giske, Head of AI at Mediehuset iTromsø
