Though the Nordic region represents only 3 percent of Europe’s population, the Nordic nations are ranked as global leaders for technology and innovation.

The new Nordic will host this one-day conference, which will feature keynote talks and panels by tech and innovation luminaries from the Nordic region, including Kristin Skogen Lund (NO), Fredrik Cassel (SE), and Niels Røine (NO).

Representing the NMA, technical director Lasse Karlsen presents Norwegian maritime innovation for a greener shipping.

The goal is to build awareness about innovation and opportunity in the Nordic countries and to lay the groundwork for the development of deeper relationships between the tech and innovation sectors in Seattle and the Nordic region.
