Are we doing enough to promote the attractiveness of the Arctic? Is the Arctic attractive enough for the growth expected and competence needed for @FREYRBattery?

[North Norway European Office @NorthNorwayEO]

We need to start thinking about how we talk about our region to be attractive for the competence needed at @FREYRBattery. Important point from Tomas Norvoll at #HND2022 - what stories about the Arcitc are we sharing, and what stories should we be sharing?

[Tina Melfjord @Melfjord]

Regions and cities working towards carbon neutrality and smart specialisation should look at more ways to finance than Horizon; the private sector, especially local businesses, needs to get more involved - @HaitzeS from @Energy4Europe at #NTNUEuropeanconference #trustscience

[Tina Melfjord @Melfjord]

The #Horizon2020 project @HaeolusProject showed that research on energy transition is possible also in sparsely populated areas and in harsh climates. Jørgen Holten Jørgensen hopefully raised the awareness and enthusiasm for similar projects in the #Arctic in the future.
