Can the Arctic Become a New Marketplace for Data Communications?
Digital connectivity is a prerequisite for modern development. In the Arctic, digital connectivity plays an even bigger role as many communities are distant, sparsely populated, and challenging to reach due to, among others, harsh weather conditions.

Finland and Norway have set a strong focus on capitalizing on these advantages.
