Industrial IT Trust & Continuity Forum on 11 February 2026

Digital systems in industry and critical infrastructure are increasingly built as complex systems where technology, operating models, and partners are closely connected. System performance and long-term development depend less on individual hardware or software choices and more on how the overall system is designed, governed, and developed together across multiple stakeholders.

Industrial IT Trust & Continuity brings together organizations and decision-makers responsible for these systems to share practical perspectives on collaboration, system design, and long-term development. The event focuses on how trusted partnerships, clear responsibilities, and predictable technology roadmaps support systems that remain maintainable, adaptable, and reliable in a changing operating environment.

Tero Huikko, CEO
Long-term trust and continuity in industrial IT are built through collaboration across technology providers, integrators, and end users. The perspective focuses on how shared responsibility, lifecycle thinking, and practical cooperation support the development and operation of complex digital systems over time.

Tony Champault, IIOT Head of Channel Sales
Advantech approaches industrial computing through open platforms designed for long-term use and continuity. The focus is on the shift from hardware products to solution ecosystems, and on embedding cybersecurity and regulatory requirements into platform design and lifecycle management.

Janusz Smok, ECG Sales Account Manger SMG EMEA
Intel presents how long-term processor and computing roadmaps have enabled industrial digitalization over multiple generations. The session highlights architectural continuity, ecosystem compatibility, and the role of AI and GPU technologies as part of predictable and manageable industrial evolution.

Ville Väisänen,  Key Account Manager Nordics  
Panasonic TOUGHBOOK presents rugged mobility as a sustainable, long-term capability built on physical durability, extended lifecycles, and trusted partnerships. The perspective reflects the journey toward becoming a globally recognized leader in rugged computing and highlights the growing importance of partner ecosystems in an increasingly complex operating environment.

 Mark Winther, Business Development Manager
Industrial operating systems form a critical foundation for sustainable system lifecycles. The focus is on long-term support, controlled updates, security, and predictable governance, enabled through partner ecosystems that support reliable operation even in restricted or disconnected environments.

Thomas Waggershauser,  Head of Sales and Marketing   
Industrial-grade virtualization plays a key role in building real-time, long-lived systems. The perspective emphasizes determinism, maintainability, and the value of specialized European technology in supporting sustainable and resilient industrial architectures.
