This autumn, the biggest happening within digitalization is taking place in the history of Norway. A trans-Atlantic optical fiber cable (Havfrue) is being laid down at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean between USA and Norway. Its been 22 years since the last cable was pulled to the Nordics, but then it only connected Denmark. This time, Norway is directly connected. With this new cable route, Havfrue, digitalization in our country will shoot tremendously fast.

Havfrue enables the Nordics as a digital engine room with use of pure emissions-free hydropower for the massive digitalization that takes place around the world. This is Norway’s major contribution to achieving the UN’s sustainability goals. Digitalization is a climate threat we can help solve and at the same time a great business opportunity for our country.

We will celebrate this during Sørveiv Tech 2019 In Kristiansand, the actual landing site for the Havfrue cable.
