ArcTech - Tech solutions that shape the future
ArcTech covers Tech solutions that are implemented in the Arctic - or are created in the Arctic. The challenges that the region faces are similar to other rural areas - but we have different capabilities for creating, testing and exporting the solutions.
The term covers industries like Energy, FoodTech, Logistics, Maritime and Blue Economy. The track program introduces the latest possibilities and key players in this sector.
We aim to create a strong ecosystem of ArcTech companies to tackle the problems of the Arctic and the rest of the world.
Will you join us?
ArcTech - The next big thing
If it works here, it works everywhere. Northern Norway has some of the harshest climate and terrain in the world. Tech solutions that solve it here, can make it anywhere. ArcTech solutions cover i.e. renewable energy production, maritime tech and circular economy solutions, just to name a few.
