The future is electric

Most people agree that the future is electric. The electrification of industry, transport and society is one of the keys to meeting the major climate challenge we face. But to reach our climate goals by 2045, Sweden needs more fossil-free electricity production and stable electricity grids. Northern Sweden is no exception.

At the same time, the war in Ukraine and a new European energy map are also affecting us in the north. What do we need to do to strengthen our electricity production and secure electricity for everyone? Can the many national interests that exist in the north coexist and develop side by side?

Norra Scen - Arena for green transition

A seminar series about the green transition in northern Sweden at Vetenskapens hus in Luleå. Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and northern Sweden has a unique opportunity to lead the world in the sustainable transition. At Norra Scen we discuss what is needed for the transition to be successful, including opportunities and challenges, the green industry initiatives and social development in northern Sweden, and the interaction between industry, academia and society. The seminar series Norra Scen – Arena for green transition is a collaboration between IVA Nord, LKAB, Luleå University of Technology, Region Norrbotten SSAB and Vattenfall.
