Scandinavian IT night at Sheraton Sopot

Scandinavian companies want to be visible in the Tri-City. On  December 11th, Scandinavian IT night took place in the Sopot Sheraton. During an event, participants could find out what Nordic companies are into and they listened to Stefan Hyttfors – an international  speaker and futurist.

An event was co-organized by Arla, Axbit, Banqsoft AS, DNV GL – Poland, Nordea, Powel, and Schibsted Tech Polska. The companies joined forces on Tuesday evening to present themselves to the community of Tri-city developers. Invest in Pomerania was a partner of this event. Marcin Grzegory – the deputy director of Invest in Pomerania – hosted the official part of the event.

Representatives of each company had 90 seconds to talk about their company and encourage developers to consider it as a future employer. In addition to the presentation, companies chatted with the participants at the stands located at the foyer of the Sheraton Hotel.

Stefan Hyttfors spoke about the social, economic and ecological consequences of technological advancement. Using examples such as Waymo autonomous cars, or Amazon Go automated stores, Hyttfors discussed the rapid twists on the markets known as “disruptions” and outlined possible variants of the future. His speech certainly helped to orient oneself between the processes that are transforming the world before our eyes.
