Investing in infrastructure to benefit lower-income households, is a topic that touches the very foundation of our society and the well-being of our communities. This is not just about spending more; it’s about spending better. Imagine a world where every individual has access to reliable power, clean water, efficient transport, and robust telecommunications. These are not luxuries but basic necessities that can unlock economic opportunities, enhance healthcare, improve education, and elevate livelihoods. In the face of natural hazards, resilient infrastructure can minimize costly repairs and avoid disruptions that impact productivity and quality of life. It leads to better health outcomes, more private investment in home improvements, enhanced access to transport and jobs, and a reduction in crime and violence. It empowers communities, fosters local initiatives, and paves the way for a more inclusive society.

With a surge in infrastructure projects in Greenland – and a younger, increasingly educated local workforce – the recruitment landscape is evolving. Employers are keen on attracting external talent while fostering regional career growth. Inger Marie Ingvardsen, CEO of Pointer Search, highlights the unique blend of challenges and opportunities in recruiting for Greenland. For instance, extensive networking combined with a deep understanding of challenges and opportunities becomes critical in ensuring successful relocations, especially when it involves moving families.

Should we use more local companies for big projects? A major project is happening locally, and it will have a big impact on the community, but I think we could involve more local contractors.. I could be wrong.. Usually, what happens is: ✅ A company from another state is hired ✅ That company hires others out of state ✅ These companies come and go ✅Limited dollars stay in the community Some projects have done a good job of giving local companies a chance to bid. Shouldn’t we do more of that?
