Case: Turning real-time transport data into operational intelligence
How can transport operators and public authorities share data securely while retaining ownership and control of their information? Drawing on practical examples from public transport, Lennart Hedlund, Senior Enterprise Architect at Tieto, will show how real-time data can improve safety, operational efficiency and passenger experience—and support the next generation of intelligent mobility services across Europe.

Case: How Akademiska Hus uses AI to optimize space and reduce costs and environmental impact
Akademiska Hus is Sweden’s largest landlord of facilities for universities and colleges. Its vision is to help tenants make better use of space, reduce costs and environmental impact, and limit the need for new construction. Magnus Hjelmfeldt, Director of AI at Tieto Tech Consulting Sweden, will explain how sensors, contextualized data and AI analysis can turn that ambition into practical decision-making tools.
