In data we trust: accept or reject

The Institute for Strategic Solutions (ISR) is organizing an expert forum on the topic of data trust and security in the process of digital transformation. The forum will take place on 19 November 2024, at the premises of the Post Office of Slovenia in Ljubljana (entrance from Čopova Street).

Technology is a key driver of change in modern society, with data being the fundamental resource for developing advanced solutions, strengthening processes, and making informed decisions. It enables innovations in various fields such as artificial intelligence, healthcare, and finance, whilst understandably raising questions about privacy and security. According to the recent OECD OURData Index 2023, Slovenia ranks 7th among OECD countries in providing access to open data and promoting its use for the benefit of society and the economy. The forum will discuss how different sectors, from healthcare to banking, can harness the potential of data whilst respecting privacy and security. The focus will be on user experience and the exchange of credible data as the foundation of a modern digital society.

In the first part of the forum, guests from various sectors will exchange views on the key challenges and opportunities brought by digital transformation. They will discuss the balance between using data to improve quality of life and ensuring user security. The second part will be dedicated to presentations of best practices and exchange of experiences.

You are invited to register for the event HERE.


V podatke zaupamo: sprejmi ali zavrni

Inštitut za strateške rešitve (ISR) organizira strokovni posvet na temo zaupanja in varnosti podatkov v procesu digitalne preobrazbe. Posvet bo potekal 19. novembra 2024 v poslovni enoti Pošte Slovenije v Ljubljani (vhod s Čopove ulice), s pričetkom ob 14:00.

Tehnologija je ključno gonilo sprememb v sodobni družbi, pri čemer so podatki temeljni vir za razvoj naprednih rešitev, krepitev procesov in sprejemanje informiranih odločitev. Omogočajo inovacije na različnih področjih, kot so umetna inteligenca, zdravstvo in finance, hkrati pa razumljivo sprožajo vprašanja glede zasebnosti in varnosti. Po nedavnem indeksu OECD OURData 2023 je Slovenija na 7. mestu med državami OECD, ki zagotavljajo dostop do odprtih podatkov in spodbujajo njihovo uporabo v korist družbe in gospodarstva. Forum bo obravnaval, kako lahko različni sektorji, od zdravstva do bančništva, izkoristijo potencial podatkov ob hkratnem spoštovanju zasebnosti in varnosti. Poudarek bo na uporabniški izkušnji in izmenjavi verodostojnih podatkov kot temelju sodobne digitalne družbe.

V prvem delu posveta bodo gostje iz različnih sektorjev izmenjali poglede na ključne izzive in priložnosti, ki jih prinaša digitalna preobrazba. Razpravljali bodo o ravnovesju med uporabo podatkov za izboljšanje kakovosti življenja in zagotavljanjem varnosti uporabnikov. Drugi del bo namenjen predstavitvam dobrih praks in izmenjavi izkušenj.

Poslovni forum: gospodarsko sodelovanje med Slovenijo in Srbijo

Inštitut za strateške rešitve (ISR) in Gospodarska zbornica Srbije skupaj z javno agencijo SPIRIT Slovenija 17. maja 2024 v Ljubljani organizirata poslovni forum na temo gospodarskega sodelovanja med Slovenijo in Srbijo. V sklopu foruma bodo sodelovala srbska in slovenska podjetja, ki delujejo v regiji.

V prvem delu bodo gostje izmenjali poglede na najpomembnejše gospodarske trende, ki vplivajo na sodelovanje, ter priložnosti za nadaljnjo gospodarsko sodelovanje med državama. Drugi panel bo namenjen trgovini.

V kontekstu sodelovanja med Slovenijo in Srbijo se izpostavlja potencialna korist za obe strani na področju dostopa do trga Evropske unije in izboljšanje cenovne konkurenčnosti. Medtem ko Slovenija zaradi že uveljavljene kapitalske osnove stremi k dodatnemu gospodarskemu napredku, Srbija v tej interakciji vidi priložnost za izgradnjo lastnega kapitalskega temelja. Slednje nakazuje na potencial za vzajemno koristno sodelovanje in razvoj obeh držav na področju poslovanja.
