Data Week 2026 will be a 2-day physical event taking place in Oslo, Norway between 5-6 May. The event will be organised by the Big Data Value Association in collaboration with the following BDVA members: IFE (Institute for Energy technology), NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), SINTEF, Western Norway Research Institute and supported by The Research Council of Norway.

The theme of DW 2026 is “Data Fjords: Unlocking AI for Industry and Society”, focusing on the fundamental elements of Data Value creation. Artificial intelligence (AI) serves as a pivotal tool in unlocking data value through various means. Creating value from data also requires viewing it from an ecosystem perspective and fostering collaboration among multiple stakeholders, which lays the groundwork needed for research excellence, that is required to be rapidly put into action for competitiveness and societal benefit.
