Blue 2050: Preparing for the future Arctic ocean economy
The Arctic region is a blue region, with deep maritime traditions and strong marine industries. But now, with the sea ice continuing to melt over the years to come, the Arctic region will see more maritime business activity than ever before. What will that activity look like? How are the marine industries in the Arctic region at large – and in the Nordic countries in particular – going to develop in the years leading up to 2050?
Join Nordic Innovation, DNV, and a panel of experts for a discussion of plausible future scenarios for the ocean economy in the Arctic.
The panel includes:
- Unni Kløvstad, Head of Department, Nordic Council of Ministers
- Sigri Stokke Nilsen, Senior Adviser, Centre for the Ocean and the Arctic
- Benedek Regoczi, Innovation Project Manager, Iceland Ocean Cluster
- Øivind Bergh, Principal Scientist, Institute of Marine Research
Background
The discussion will be based on the report Nordic Oceans 2050 developed by DNV. The report provides decision-makers with knowledge and insight for the development of a resilient ocean economy. It takes stock of where the Nordic region is now and where it is headed in the years to come.
