Greening the digital

Nordic vision project Circular and climate friendly public procurements, funded by Nordic Council of Ministers, organizes market dialogue event on sustainable software. This is where you can make a difference.

As a participant of the event, you will receive the proposed public sector criteria suggestions before the event. In the event you are able to discuss and give feedback of the criteria in your own language in country specific discussion rooms.

Criteria drafts have been developed in MitViDi-project, funded by European Regional Fund and are already being used in Finland. In the event, you can give feedback to the criteria and discuss their content and implementation.

We will revise them based on the feedback and publish an improved set of criteria in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway. In Finland, we will discuss advanced criteria. The goal is to encourage the market to produce more sustainable software and put Nordics in the forefront of software sustainability. If you are a software producer, a public procurer, a consultant or a researcher in sustainable software, this is your chance to make a concrete impact. The joint session in the beginning of the event is open for all who want to learn more about the topic.

The registration closes on 22nd of April.
