The purpose of the Nordic Meetings is to discuss current data protection issues and exchange best practices. Nordic Meetings have been organised since 1988.

A special declaration was signed, underlining common emphasis of the Nordic DPAs and that they will continue their strong cooperation based on shared Nordic values.

During this year’s meeting, the Nordic DPAs discussed the impact of the current geopolitical climate on data protection and privacy. They also discussed several other topics, all with the aim of achieving a balanced and even more pragmatic approach in the performance of their various tasks. The DPAs acknowledged the need to further cooperate with other regulatory authorities, in particular with regard to the many overlapping rules in the digitalisation and data protection area, such as the AI Act and the Data Act.
