Infrastructure
Infrastructure - a vital focus area

The geography of Greenland naturally places great demands on a transport infrastructure, which will ensure efficient connections for people and goods in Greenland. Most of Greenland’s physical infrastructure was constructed between the 1950s and the 1990s.

The Port of Aalborg is the starting-point for all Danish marine traffic to Greenland, and Royal Arctic Line is the exclusive operator on this route – an agreement which has recently been extended to 2022.

Natural Resources
Natural resources, Environment and Climate

This is perhaps one of the most important and potent focus areas in Greenland. There is no doubt that Greenland is rich in a wide range of natural resources. Locating, extracting and managing these resources is a huge task, in which the focus is not only on the exploitation of the raw materials, but also on the effects and consequences of such operations, including on the environment and climate.

Tourism – a great potential

Welcome to Arctic Business Network!

- a transatlantic business network in the Arctic

Arctic Business Network focuses on co-operation and development.
In Arctic Business Network, a number of companies from Greenland and Northern Jutland co-operate in a wide range of business areas.

Arctic Business Network was founded in 2007 on the basis of the fact that the Port of Aalborg has for many years provided the starting point for the transportation of goods to Greenland. This co-operation has since expanded to encompass a wide range of business activities for companies in Northern Jutland and Greenland.

The development of Arctic Business Network began to gather pace in 2009, with the publication of a comprehensive report entitled "Analysis and Report on Business Conditions in Greenland" and a business seminar on 20 August. Both events provided the foundation for the terms of reference and organisational structure that underpins the business network today. Developments since the business seminar have underlined that the network is a transatlantic network linking companies in Greenland and Northern Jutland.

Engaging the Natural Resources of Greenland

Aalborg, 27 & 28 March 2012

Commercial opportunities in the Arctic are enormous, not least for the Greenland and Danish industries, which already possess the skills that will be in demand with the development of the Arctic region.

Wealth in the region is likely to grow substantially and a large number of new, attractive business opportunities will arise. But the Arctic is still a hostile, yet fragile environment. Cultural and political issues may need to be addressed. The financial stake is high, but so is promise.

Success in the field is reserved for professionals.

Arctic Business Network invites you to join this conference to learn from some of the best in this field.
