AmCham’s Tech Talent Network (TTN) gathered at Microsoft Norway’s offices, with Nordic Director of Government Affairs Kristine Beitland warmly welcoming participants and addressing the era of tech geopolitics. Beitland emphasized the need for knowledge sharing on fast-paced technological developments for robust regulatory frameworks, especially during periods of global instability. “We are all in the same ballgame to protect democracy,” she stated.
National Technology Officer at Microsoft Norway, Christopher Frenning, took participants on a journey through time and leadership, explaining Microsoft’s development from the 1970s to the “AI era” we are now all experiencing. Like Beitland, he emphasized the need for cooperation, but also among tech companies, arguing that “innovation cannot be constrained – we must use the knowledge that is out there.” An important driver of this innovation is inclusivity and partnership, both among coworkers and customers, which has been vital for Microsoft’s success. The not invented here syndrome, he asserted, is a thing of the past.
A special thanks to Stine Saatvedt for giving us an office tour and to all the TTN participants for their engagement!
