Arctic Innovation
/
Arctic innovation has been developing at a rapid speed these past few years. But why is Arctic innovation unique? This session will ask industry actors to develop a SWOT-analysis of Arctic innovation on stage and later debate the threats to Arctic innovation. The session will begin with a truly Arctic innovator when the Laurence Trân Arctic Futures Award will be presented for the very first time. The laureate will also participate in the panel and share their start-up story from the North.
