Invitation

June 22, 2023 Dear Colleagues, It is our pleasure to invite you to attend our meeting of the Ministerial Council for Digitalisation during the Icelandic Presidency 2023 of the Nordic Council of Ministers. The meeting will take place on Friday September 22, 2023 from 9.00-11.45 GMT in the Háaloft room at the Harpa Conference Hall in Reykjavik. A preliminary programme is on page two, but a final agenda for the meeting will be sent to you in August 2023. In a fast-paced world with many opportunities, and challenges, when it comes to the digital transformation of our region, the two main topics of this year’s ministerial meeting will be Nordic-Baltic leadership: “the Role of Digital Government on the road to 2030 in a Regional and International Context” and “Data and Cyber-Security in Government Service Provision”. We are looking forward to meeting you all in person to discuss how the Ministerial Council on Digitalisation can contribute to making the Nordic-Baltic region the most digitally integrated, secure, and sustainable in the world by 2030. We hope you will join us for dinner on Thursday evening, the 21 September at 19.00 GMT, where we hope to be able to give you a glimpse of the northern lights. We also hope that you will join us for lunch after the meeting, and that you will stay in Reykjavik to participate in the high-level conference conducted by Digital Iceland ‘Connecting the state’ also taking place September 22nd in the afternoon. The theme of the conference is ‘Digital Community Towards Digital Leadership’. We are aware of an interest in Iceland as a location and have therefore decided to offer a spouse program on Saturday for both Ministers and High Level Group members. The spouse program is on page three.
