Special lecture series 6: Where Are We Headed with the New Industries in the North?

Panel discussion with Hans Andersson, Regional Director
of the Confederation of Swedish Enterprise in Norrbotten County; Jan Anders Perdahl, Vänsterpartiet, Vice Chairman of the Regional Development Committee; Stefan Mikaelsson, Vice Chairman of the Sámi Parliament of Sweden; Hans Nilsson, the Swedish Society
for Nature Conservation in Kiruna.

The concluding panel discussion tackles major features of the ongoing developments. How will urban and rural areas be affected

by the large industrial projects? How will we meet the increasing demand for electricity and minerals? Can developments continue without augmenting the already existing conflicts around reindeer herding and land use? How will Norrbotten Country look in ten, fifty, and one hundred years given the current trends? Are there any alternative routes for development?
