ProTromsø attended the Nordic Hydrogeen Week in Oulu with our flagship event Business & Burger. The evening was hosted by ProTromsø, in collaboration with BusinessOulu and Grøtsund Industripark AS.
In this side-event we discussed how to secure efficiency, security and robust solutions for the Energy industry. The need for more East-West collaboration is crucial, some argued.
We are currently facing major challanges linked to climate- and nature-crisis, a demanding geopolitical situation and lack of industrial investments. How shall we tackle these? At the same time as we face major challanges, the Nordic Arctic possesses resources, possibilities and knowledge. The panel shared stories of how local communities, businesses and researchers are already turning challanges into opportunities. From renewable energy projects to smarter use of natural resources, they highlighted how the Nordic Arctic can be a frontrunner in building a greener, more resilient future.
This all alligned very well with the topic of the evening: Resilience in the Energy Industry.
We thank everyone who joined us for a discussion on how to foster for more green-development in the Arctic.
The Team Nordic Arctic is a project funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Arktis 2030. The goal of the project, led by ProTromsø, is to strengthen the North Nordic region through business collaborations. The project aims to enhance the cooperation between Norway, Sweden and Finland in the Arctic by applying Norwegian know-how on Arctic society, business, and knowledge.
The overall goal of the project is enhanced Nordic cooperation in the High North in difficult times. We aim to strengthen the Arctic communities in the Nordic countries through sustainable business development, recruitment of youth talents and the inclusion of indigenous people and minorities. One of the main work packages includes Arctic Business Matchmaking in each of the three partnering countries, held in Oulu, Finland, Umeå, Sweden and Tromsø, Norway.
