About

In this event, students from across the Arctic and the rest of the world will pitch their work on ways to address challenges in the changing Arctic region, ranging from environmental issues to geopolitics. We will hear their 2-minute pitch, discuss the ideas, and select our winners. A Few ideas will then be incubated for further development.

The Arctic Innovation Lab is organized by the Arctic Initiative at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government in collaboration with Luleå University of Technology, the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, the Iceland School of Energy at Reykjavík University, the University of Greenland, the University of Iceland, the UiT The Arctic University of Norway, and MGIMO University.
