The program combines phase-matched group sessions – based on investment goal\, a Key-note from a leading Nordic AI startup\, the Fishbowl – two interesting investment topics\, and pre-matched 1:1 investor meetings + drop-in opportunities. \n\n\n\nAgenda \n\n\n\n13:00 – Arrival & mingle / set-up stands13:20 – Welcome & “How it works”13:30 – Part 1: Phase-matched group sessions14.20 – Coffee break14:30 – Part 2: Keynote + Fishbowl15.30 – Refill coffee15:40 – Part 3: 1:1 meetings + drop-in & stands16:30 – Closing mingle & next steps17:00 – Transport to Investor Dinner & Startup SocialWhat investors gain \n\n\n\n\nPhase-matched dealflow: Meet startups grouped by investment stage\, so conversations start at the right level.\n\n\n\nEfficient meeting flow: Pre-booked 1:1s + drop-in meetings facilitated\n\n\n\nEasy follow-up: Pitch deck distribution before and after the event\, to request selected introductions\n\n\n\n\nWhat startups gain \n\n\n\n\nInvestor time – matched your stage: You’ll meet investors aligned with your current investment phase\n\n\n\nMore shots on goal: You get both structured interactions and open networking / drop-ins.\n\n\n\nBetter investor understanding: The Fishbowl gives concrete insight into what gets funded\, why\, and how decisions are made.\n\n\n\nWarm follow-ups: After the event\, investors can request intros to startups they met—so the momentum continues.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThe day in 3 parts \n\n\n\nPart 1: Phase-matched group sessions (60 min) \n\n\n\nTo create the best conversations from minute one\, we divide startups into four groups based on investment stage\, and match investors based on their ticket size and mandate. Each group is facilitated and designed for quick introductions and early-fit discussions. \n\n\n\nThe groups \n\n\n\n\nGroup 1: Idea / Establishment\n\n\n\nGroup 2: Pre-seed\n\n\n\nGroup 3: Seed\n\n\n\nGroup 4: Series A and above\n\n\n\n\nPart 2: Keynote + Fishbowl (60 min total) \n\n\n\nA short keynote sets the tone\, followed by a Fishbowl where investors and founders share candid insights\, patterns\, and practical examples—so everyone leaves smarter and better prepared for real fundraising conversations. \n\n\n\n\nFishbowl A: “Founder Challenges & Momentum” \n\n\n\nFishbowl B: “AI Moats: Why You Win” (competitive advantage\, traction\, distribution)\n\n\n\n\nPart 3: Curated 1:1 meetings + drop-in & mingling (60 min) \n\n\n\nThis is where we turn conversations into opportunities. \n\n\n\nInvestor-selected 1:1 meetings \n\n\n\n\nBefore the event: Investors receive all startup pitches and select 3 startups they want to meet.\n\n\n\nDuring the event: Selected startups meet investors in facilitated meeting rooms.\n\n\n\nAfter the event: We resend the pitch collection and investors can request introductions to startups they want to continue with or new ones they did not get thew chance to meet.\n\n\n\n\nDrop-in meetings + stands – Turn serendipity into opportunity Not every valuable connection comes from a pre-booked slot. Startups not in a 1:1 at any given time can still meet investors through: \n\n\n\n\n15 min Drop-in sessions “SLUSH-style” – stands – open mingling\n\n\n\n\n\nAudience Registration\n\n\n\nStartup registration\n\n\n\nInvestor registration

SUMMARY:AI+Yoga (neural networks edition)
DESCRIPTION:Start your AI+ Day with a different kind of warm-up. \n\n\n\nOn Wednesday\, May 27th\, 07:30–08:30\, before the conference begins at Kulturhuset\, join yoga teacher / nutritionist MSc Gunn Helene Arsky for a yoga class inspired by the very thing that brings you to the conference: neural networks. \n\n\n\nIn AI\, networks learn through signals\, repetition\, and integration. In this class\, you’ll experience the same principles in your own biological hardware. Through a gentle blend of yin yoga and hatha yoga\, we “initialize the system\,” improve signal flow through the body\, reduce mental noise\, and allow time for integration before the day’s input begins. \n\n\n\nThis session is designed to help you arrive at the conference calm\, clear\, and focused — a shared reset you can enjoy with a colleague to set the tone for the day ahead. \n\n\n\nNo prior yoga experience needed. Suitable for both beginners and experienced yogis. \n\n\n\nAll equipment is provided. Just wear comfortable clothes you can move in. \n\n\n\nSave your spot here: https://bakingyogi.myshopify.com/collections/workshop-kurs/products/aiplus-yoga-neural-networks-edition. \n\n\n\nMax 20 participants \n\n\n\nPrice: NOK 280 \n\n\n\nNeed more info? Ask Gunn Helene gunn.helene.arsky@gmail.com \n\n\n\nGive your nervous system the same care you give your neural networks — and start your AI+ Day with clarity\, energy\, and presence.

SUMMARY:AI+ESRA: Sikker bruk  av KI
DESCRIPTION:Kunstig intelligens (KI) er i ferd med å endre hvordan vi arbeider med risikostyring! \n\n\n\nKI gir nye muligheter for analyse\, beslutningsstøtte og utvikling av sikre løsninger. På dette seminaret vil vi rette søkelyset mot hvordan KI kan brukes ansvarlig innen risikostyring\, og hvordan vi kan kvalitetssikre at innsikt og anbefalinger fra KI faktisk er pålitelige og anvendbare. \n\n\n\nBli medlem i ESRASom ESRA-medlemmer får du kostnadsfri deltakelse. Studentmedlemskap er gratis!Meld deg inn her. \n\n\n\n\nPåmelding her\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nProgram09:00-09:15 Velkommen ved Bjørn Axel Gran\, IFE/ESRA \n\n\n\n09:15-09:45 KI i beslutningstaking: om teknologioptimismens skyggesider og menneskets rolle\, Jan Tore Ludvigsen\, EquinorKunstig intelligens lover økt effektivitet og bedre beslutninger\, men kan også introdusere nye sårbarheter og redusert kontroll gjennom blant annet manglende forklarbarhet. Jeg viser hvordan overdreven teknologioptimisme kan ha uønskede konsekvenser hvis vi ikke samtidig adresserer KIs begrensninger\, og tar hensyn til menneskelige faktorer. Jeg vil også diskutere forutsetninger som bør være tilstede for et sikkert og robust samspill mellom KI og mennesker. \n\n\n\n09:45-10:15 Strukturerte Sikkerhetsargumenter for Sikker Bruk av KI\, Emilie Greaker\, IFEI takt med utviklingen av Kunstig Intelligens (KI) har det gjennom de siste årene blitt forsket mye på hvordan man kan utvikle sikker KI. Selv om dette arbeidet utvilsomt er viktig\, finnes det også andre metoder og etablert teori for hvordan man kan bruke KI på en sikker måte\, uten at KI’en i seg selv behøver å være sikker. I dette foredraget dikuterer vi en spesifik metode for sikker bruk av KI\, og presenterer utdrag fra vårt pågående arbeid med å etablere et strukturert sikkerhetsargument for slike metoder. \n\n\n\n10:15-10:45 Agentbaserte øvingskonsepter – en live demo av KI-genererte øvelser med innebygd beslutningsstøtte\, Jakob Stendahl\, SafetecØvelser er kritisk for å bygge motstandsdyktighet og evne til å håndtere uønskede hendelser\, enten det gjelder fysiske hendelser eller angrep mot digitale systemer. I denne demoen viser vi hvordan KI-agenter kan brukes til å automatisk generere realistiske øvingsscenario på minutter\, og hvordan scenariene kan brukes i en interaktiv øvingsplattform. De som er med på konferansen får prøve seg som del av beredskapsteamet på å ta beslutninger\, samhandle og bruke KI-støtte i beslutningsprosessen. \n\n\n\n10:45-11:00 Spørsmål og Svar\, Bjørn Axel Gran\, IFE/ESRA \n\n\n\n11:00-12:30 Bespisning\, valgfrittAlle som møter fysisk i Halden er invitert til å bli med ut til lunsj (og uformell prat om AI og Risiko. Lunsjkostnader dekkes av den enkelte deltaker selv.
