PORTO, Portugal – Naoris Protocol, the global leader in decentralized trust infrastructure and post-quantum cybersecurity, proudly announces the opening of its Nordic Regional Command Center in Oslo, Norway. This new office marks a major milestone in the company’s strategic global expansion, serving as a central hub for government partnerships, digital sovereignty solutions, and the distribution of critical defense-grade technologies across the Nordic region, covering Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland.
This Nordic expansion is spearheaded by Major General (ret.)

Kampenes brings decades of strategic military leadership to Naoris Consulting, the global consulting arm of Naoris Protocol, and will guide its engagement with Nordic governments, critical infrastructure, and public institutions.
General Kampenes is putting together a team of highly qualified partners and investors. His team will include Knut Grandhagen, former head of communications at the Norwegian Armed Forces Cyber Defence who is also the son of Kjell Grandhagen – an early backer of Naoris Protocol, 3-star General and former NATO Chairman of the Intelligence Committee. Grandhagen, a long-time believer in the Naoris vision, will head strategic communications efforts and support business strategy across the region.
“Naoris offers the kind of security innovation our region needs—sovereign, resilient, and future-ready, ” said General Inge Kampenes.
Knut Grandhagen, added: “We are building the Nordic epicenter of digital trust and cyber defense. My father believed in the revolutionary vision at the heart of Naoris since the early stages and helped shape it to what it is today. I will, in turn participate, in its success,

- Government contracting, compliance, and ecosystem partnerships;
- Strategic education and engagement to promote decentralized cybersecurity, digital sovereignty, and post-quantum preparedness;

“The Oslo expansion is not just geographic—it’s geopolitical,” said David Carvalho, CEO of Naoris Protocol. “With Mr. Kampenes leading this charge, Naoris is positioning itself as the trusted sovereignty layer for a more resilient Nordic digital future.”
This move aligns with Europe’s growing commitment to digital sovereignty, reinforced resilience against foreign threats, and a secure post-quantum digital landscape. With trusted Nordic leadership at the helm, the Oslo center will serve as the main regional liaison for governments and institutions in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland, embedding sovereign-grade cybersecurity across the region.
