Enough talk, we need to act, and we need to act now if we really want to cut emissions! That was one of the conclusions at Arctic Circle last week when Nordic Innovation gathered the actors in the hydrogen project 'Next Wave' to a panel discussion. Thank you Lin April Løstegård for an excellent facilitation of the session! 🙏 And as the panel presumed, collaboration has been a key factor to the success of the project. With the value chain involved and close collaboration in the Nordics, 20 of Man’s hydrogen trucks will arrive on Island's roads next year. And Norway will also deploy over 80 trucks in the beginning of 2025. As the project shows, refueling stations, stimulating demand and continuing building competence throughout the value chain is essential for the continuing the work for transportation to become emission-free with hydrogen trucks.

We need more Arctic explorers and people who want to support them! The next Arctic expedition was well attended and despite the early morning, the room Haloft at Harpa was full of people. During the session the panel discussed and shared insights into the unique investment opportunity the Arctic Ocean Economy has to offer and concrete political and economic actions that need to be taken to attract more private capital into this sector. The session was professionally moderated by Verineia Codrean, thank you! Virginia E. Vegas Vegas concluded that we in the Nordics need to take bigger risks and have the courage to explore. But at the same time be careful of how we use and protect the environment. Even Ovnerud said that we must see the Nordics and Arctic as one. But there is a lack of information about the arctic This knowledge gap can help to close the funding gap. Linn Indrestrand concluded that the that we need to transform the industry and the transition from the old to the new ocean economy will be necessary. From the entrepreneurial view Fertram Sigurjonsson said that it is important to be persistent and the importance of communicate the new projects to attract capital to new innovations.  Thordur Reynisson presumed that The Nordics collectively must work towards a sustainable future of the Arctic oceans.
