How can policy innovation be a driver that accelerates a digital green transition?  – Join us to shed light on the challenges and possible solutions.

The Nordic Council of Ministers hosts this theme session where the potentials, barriers and challenges related to a digital green transition in the Nordic and Baltic region are discussed. The session kicks off with a short introduction to the key findings and 10 policy recommendations from a newly-released report Enabling the Digital Green Transition in the Nordic and Baltic countries delivered by Tænketanken Mandag Morgen. Experts from across sectors and regions are invited on stage to discuss how policy innovation can be a driver that accelerates a digital green transition. Join us to shed light on the challenges and possible solutions. The second part of the session takes a deep dive into “open green data”, where we invite data-suppliers, public authorities as well as Nordic and Baltic companies that utilize open green data for innovation to highlight best practices and inspire us to move forward.
