Arctic Investment Scenarios towards 2040
This panel will present and discuss the results of the scenarios workshop, organised by the High North Center for Business and Governance at Nord University, on investment futures in the European Arctic over the next 10–15 years, placing them in context for local, national, and EU policymakers. Drawing on scenario methodology, the workshop explores key uncertainties shaping Arctic development, from geopolitical rivalry and resource strategies to the role of indigenous knowledge and the prospects for sustainable growth. Against a backdrop of shifting US–Greenland, US–EU, and Europe–Russia relations, participants examine what kinds of investments may emerge in this geopolitical and economic hotspot, who will drive them, and how competing visions for the Arctic’s future could unfold. The panel will share these alternative Arctic investment scenarios up to 2040 and discuss their implications for policy and strategic planning.
