Big news for our project!
Our project, Arctic Business Index (formerly known as Business Index North) has received official endorsement from the Arctic Council’s Sustainable Development Working Group (SDWG). Norway and Canada are co-leads for the project at the state level.
This international recognition from one of the Arctic’s most influential entities marks a major milestone and opens the door to new partnerships and greater impact across the Arctic.
Together with our partners, we’re now more motivated and are already working on new reports, online tools, and stories from Arctic people and businesses. This helps us share fact-based knowledge with not only those in the region but also people around the world about what is really happening in the Arctic.
The project Arctic Business Index is implemented via a network of Arctic experts and institutions.
The current institutional partners are:
High North Center for Business, Nord University Business School, Norway (lead partner)
KPB, Bodø, Norway
Arctic Economic Council
Center for High North Logistics, Norway
Icelandic Arctic Cooperation Network, Iceland
Institute of the North, USA/Alaska
Saskatchewan University, Canada (partner via AFIC initiative)

Expert partners are:

Dr. Alexandra Middleton – Oulu University Business School, Finland (expert network partner)
