Arctic Marine Testing, Training and Research Center (ArcMaTe) – nordic showcase of arctic expertise

Johanna Ikävalko ministerial adviser

Growth from the North report (2015)

cooperation between Finland, Sweden and Norway in the Arctic members of the working group were Mr. Risto E. J. Penttilä (CEO of Finland

Chamber of Commerce), Ms. Magdalena Andersson (County Governor of Västerbotten) and Dr. Anne Husebekk (Rector of the University of Tromsø)

task: to identify new ideas and practical ways of promoting economic

cooperation between Finland, Sweden and Norway in the Arctic. Each Nordic country has its own strengths in the region that should be developed through joint efforts to benefit all three:

1) LNG and renewables, with Norway in the lead; 2) Greener mining solutions, with Sweden in the lead; 3) Increased tourism, with Finland in the lead; and 4) Ice and cold climate solutions, with trilateral spearheads requires intensified cooperation and strong political commitment from the three governments and private sector

Finland’s arctic strategy (2013)

Four pillars:

Finland is an arctic country

Finland has notable arctic know-how

Sustainable development and environment

International collaboration

Finland’s prospects in arctic economic growth (2015)

report by former PM Paavo Lipponen Some picks: 1. Under the leadership of the state authorities,

cooperation between the Nordic countries will be intensified in the field of energy. The Nordic countries must strengthen their competitive position and actively influence the development of EU energy markets

2. Northern universities will be strengthened and cooperation between them developed. One Arctic University, capable of competing internationally, will be set as a goal.

3. The role that companies play in drafting Arctic policy must be strengthened.

Search and rescue in the High North (SARiNOR)

During autumn 2012, Maritimt Forum Nord and Maritim21 took the initiative to launch a pilot project concerning search and rescue in the Arctic. The rise in shipping and offshore activities in this region will require new solutions if safety at sea is to be kept at an acceptably high level. The objective of the pilot project was to design a major international project on maritime search and rescue actions in the High North.
