At this year's conference, we are based on everything that is already happening in Northern Norway – and the choices that will affect the development going forward.
The Northern Norway Engineering Conference is not only a professional arena – it is also a meeting place for reflection and discussion. Here, engineers, technologists, union representatives and decision-makers gather to share experiences, build networks and discuss what it takes to make Northern Norway an even more attractive place to live and work.
You will hear about developments in areas such as space travel, technology, innovation and health services – and concrete examples of businesses that are succeeding. Topics such as the increased presence of the Armed Forces, developments in Svalbard and challenges in working life provide several perspectives on how Northern Norway is affected – both locally and globally.
Through presentations from political leadership, the business community and public actors, you will get a clear picture of the framework conditions, opportunities and priorities going forward, while at the same time raising the more demanding questions: What will it take to retain expertise in the High North? How do we create attractive jobs and good local communities?
After the conference, we hope to have answered the question - why should you choose to stay in the north?
