The day’s events started with a seminar on: Cybersecurity in Europe: Legislative Updates and the Road to 2024. The event included cybersecurity experts from Ireland, Austria and Brussels.

The audience enjoyed informative presentations, covering crucial topics such as the requirements of the latest NIS transposition legislation and Ireland’s National Cyber Security Bill.

Oslo meeting – April 2024

The previous Ecomlex meeting was hosted by Norwegian Ecomlex member, Advokatfirmaet Selmer on 12 April 2024 in Oslo.

The first item on the agenda was a seminar titled: “Why large IT-projects fail”. The event was well-attended, including by some of Norway’s leading IT suppliers and largest companies.

The audience experienced insightful presentations on why complex IT-projects fail and learned about a different delivery and contractual model, that is designed to avoid project failure and costly litigation. Key topics of discussion focused on the outcomes of recent large IT-project disputes in the Norwegian courts and how the contract and delivery models can contribute to a successful project.

Thank you to Ståle Hagen for an excellent day.
