The High North Young Entrepreneur contest is an international pitch competition of Arctic-related business ideas of young entrepreneurs and start-ups. The contest’s goal is to promote the potential and opportunities in the High North for young people and inspire them to develop their business ideas. The prize is a stipend of 50 000 NOK. Innovation Norway Nordland and High North Dialogue have just signed an agreement that guarantees continued funding of the award.

The High North Hero Award is an annual award established by the High North Center for Business and Governance to honor a person, organization or company who has contributed to highlighting or developing the High North. The award is handed out during the High North Dialogue Conference in Bodø. We are currently looking for nominees.
