Deloitte is presenting this year’s Tech Trend report for the business community in Bjørnafjorden, alongside local companies such as Samba Marin—which will discuss automation and technology trends in their maritime operations.

More and more leaders are recognizing that AI can be a key factor in building competitive advantage—by enabling automation, innovation, and a faster pace.

At this breakfast meeting, we’ll be drawing on Deloitte’sTech Trends 2026 report, which highlights how businesses are now moving from experimentation to tangible results with AI, robotics, new infrastructure, and new ways of organizing technology. Among other things, the report identifies five key areas that we’ll be hearing more about.

Sigurd Kirkebø from Deloitte will be joining us to provide insight into the key technology trends expected to shape the next 18 to 24 months.

Next, we’ll look at two local case studies that illustrate how these developments are already impacting the business community in Bjørnafjorden:

Samba Marin:Whatopportunities does new technology offer at sea—and how can this lead to new solutions and enhance competitiveness in the maritime industry? Samba Marin is a service vessel operator with a modern fleet that provides specialized services to the aquaculture and offshore industries.

Octaos: It’s beenjustover a year since AI became the “new programmer” at Octaos—how has that affected work routines and productivity? From Gründerparken in Osøyro, Octaos provides the preferred trading platform for windows and doors in the Nordic region.
