A small group from Cloud2 set off on an exciting adventure to explore fresh innovations at the Google Cloud Nordic Summit on October 10, 2024, in Stockholm. Stockholm showed its autumn charm with almost constant rain. So we choose to use public transportation over taxis and walking. We were pleasantly surprised by the efficiency of the tunnelbana network and the impressive speed of the airport train.

One of the most exciting announcements for Nordic organizations was the news that Google will be opening new regions in Sweden in 2025 and Norway in 2026. This expansion promises to boost local cloud capabilities and deliver even better service for Nordic organizations and businesses.
