- It's about developing solutions that will make everyday life easier for you and me. One example is electronic ID, which is becoming increasingly important and is a field in rapid development. Over the past two years, we've delivered a number of solutions that have played a key role in managing the pandemic," says Jørn.
Digdir delivers several components that are critical to society, and these must be further developed in parallel with a sharp increase in usage. In this context, it's important to be open, adopt new technology and at the same time understand both risks and opportunities.
