About Arctic Business Network
Arctic Business Network is a network of companies focused on the Arctic and the North Atlantic region. Through the network corporate arctic skills are strengthened by sharing the latest knowledge and inspiration for new business ideas in the Arctic.
The network has a special focus on Greenland. A large part of the member companies has a longstanding commitment in Greenland. Other members are companies that have Arctic and/or the North Atlantic region as part of their strategic plans.
Common to member companies is that they want to be part of a forum, continuously informed about the latest trends and events from around the Arctic region's business community and the network meetings provide new opportunities to establish and maintain business relations.
