Our society is currently undergoing a green transition to climate-smart and sustainable solutions. This means that we are on the verge of changing the way we use and impact the earth's resources. In the coming decades, we will change how we live, work – how we get to work or school and what we eat for dinner. We can all contribute to this transition and together create a sustainable Norrbotten.

Norrbotten has a unique opportunity to lead the world in the sustainable transition. Our climate and the natural resources available in the county give us opportunities that are not found in other places. This also means that the transition gives the local business community great opportunities to grow and develop.
