The Sensor Decade 2026

The Sensor Decade is an Oslo Science City Arena event. It is a place to share knowledge and experience, accelerating the growth of new ideas. Oslo Science City wants to help enable and improve innovation opportunities by creating an arena for leading researchers and highly motivated students to interact with dynamic business incubators and disruptive companies.

From Atoms to Autonomy, the sensor value chain is expanding

Sensors are at the core of Norway’s and Europe’s transformation agendas. From the European Chips Act, the Green Deal, and new AI and data regulations, to Norway’s ambitions for ocean sustainability, health innovation, the green industrial transition, and Arctic monitoring – sensors provide the trusted data that makes policy goals achievable. They measure the invisible, enable autonomy, and create the link between the physical and digital worlds.

The Sensor Decade 2026 will focus on the grand challenges shaping society:

• Sensing the Planet to safeguard climate, oceans and food systems.
• Sensing the Body for health, medtech and microsurgery.
• Sensing the Engineered World for autonomy, robotics and industry.
• Sensing the Invisible to unlock quantum, photonics and nanotechnology.

Within these missions, the programme explores the full range of enabling technologies: sensor materials, sensor integration, design & microfabrication of chips, multimodal and AI-enhanced sensing, breakthroughs in physics, and solutions for sustainability and circularity.

The Sensor Decade 2026 will take place at Ole-Johan Dahls Hus, located at Gaustadalléen 23B, 0349 Oslo.
