Arctic Perspectives is a series of four events aimed at the in-depth exploration of critical Arctic issues through thoughtful, expert-led conversations. These events are organized in partnership between the Embassy of Canada to the Kingdom of Denmark and the Danish Foreign Policy Society.

For the third session, we have teamed up with Copenhagen Business School and invite you to join us for an insightful discussion moderated by Danish journalist Martin Breum. This session will explore the transformative power of science and innovation in driving sustainable and equitable economic growth in the Arctic.

We will examine how groundbreaking projects are not only benefiting local communities but also addressing global challenges such as climate change and food security. Scaling these innovations requires robust investments and enhanced infrastructure, and our panel will explore ways to attract investments to the Arctic and grow the business environment. The discussion will also address the complex issues surrounding economic growth in the Arctic and how to ensure these activities foster equitable development for local communities.
