Welcome to Arctic Six Extended, and the Cross-Border Energy Workshop in Luleå 8th-9th of April. Energi i Nord, Business Oulu and the university alliance The Arctic Six is hosting a workshop, to connect academia and the business sector across borders in the northern Nordics. The goal is to identify six R&D that are relevant for the industry and can be solved by collaborating with our universities.
The green energy transition presents both opportunities and pressing challenges—especially in the Arctic, where climate change is unfolding rapidly. Local businesses, universities and communities must take the lead in addressing these challenges and driving sustainable development.
Energi i Nord, Business Oulu and the university alliance The Arctic Six are bringing together companies and universities across the Northern-Nordics to initiate research and development projects that create value and foster progress, within the framework of our common Arctic future.
Industries, technology developers and researchers must come toghether to help bridge critical gaps in existing and future value chains. Based on urgency and impact, we have identified six key topics that require focused collaboration:
De-carbonisation of existing industries
Transport of new energy carriers
Energy infrastructure and cybersecurity for the new energy system
Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS)
Critical raw materials
Societal challenges in energy transition: social license, land use conflicts, innovation, adaptation, engagement
The participation is free for all Energi i Nord partners. For non-partners the fee is 2500NOK per person.
We're looking forward to welcoming you to Luleå! From previous experience, it has shown itself very usefull to get together, like for example when Business Oulu hosted a legion of northerners from Norway for Nordic Hydrogen Week in February:For registration and/or further questions, please contact:
