In this insightful thought leadership session, Ove Heitmann Hansen, Senior Principal – Digital Trust at DNV, explored the critical role of trust in the future of digital transformation. As industries move beyond experimentation with digital twins and AI, DNV emphasised the need for structured assurance frameworks that ensure these technologies are secure, reliable, and fit for real-world deployment.
Drawing on DNV’s global expertise in certification and risk management, Hansen outlined the organisation’s evolving methodology for qualifying digital technologies. He showcased how building trust—from data integrity to software performance—is the foundation for safely scaling AI and digital twin solutions across energy and industrial sectors.
The presentation highlighted key value drivers, including regulatory compliance, IP protection, risk mitigation, and better, faster decision-making. Above all, Hansen positioned digital trust not as an add-on, but as the enabler of sustainable, high-performance digital ecosystems—where complexity is managed, outcomes are assured, and innovation is confidently deployed at scale.
