We\u2019re in trouble if there isn\u2019t a build-up of collaboration across Kvarken and within the Nordic countries themselves.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salenius said that the energy transition and the climate crisis that we\u2019re facing is making these economic collaborative forms necessary. He also argued that it\u2019s quite lucky for these regions because there\u2019s a tradition and a culture of collaboration in the Kvarken region that\u2019s unique, not only to the Nordics, but also to Europe and the world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 This area needs co-opetition, which means collaborating and competing at the same time. It\u2019s not only a fun thing to do but the only thing we can do. These energy transitions will happen anyway in about 10 years, but we might just start already.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Silicon Valley\u2019s concept will not provide answers to the green transition<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salenius described that the Silicon Valley is an incredible successful pioneering innovation region of the world, but at the same time it was built for what is already now a bygone age before the green transition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 The green transition is not similar to what the digital transition was even though they are connected. The old models that we have learned from the digitalization, the digital transition and the innovation that goes around that, they don\u2019t really apply. It\u2019s a completely different economic model that we need now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salenius argued that Silicon Valley will play a role in the green transition but that we shouldn\u2019t look to them for answers on how to build our own models. We need digital technologies, but we also need to figure out how our existing industrial capacities are going to be transformed in a sustainable way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salenius also briefly addressed the region\u2019s attractiveness and competence supply. He pointed out that it\u2019s a societal problem rather than an issue of technology and exports.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 This region is going to need a lot of people over the past years to make this work. People aren\u2019t going to move here if there\u2019s only one sector that somebody can work in, because people usually come in families or larger groups.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Wouldn\u2019t it be amazing if this area would be the first place in the world where the climate transition in industry had the effect to really create a larger regional innovation system in both social and economic terms?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Download Viktor Salenius presentation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kvarken.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Viktor-Salenius_WFF_Aug2023.pptx\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Watch the streaming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EL0xWTqwEb8\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Read the other texts about Wasa Future Festival <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kvarken.org\/en\/energy-cooperation-and-sustainable-transport-are-more-important-than-ever-before\/\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kvarken.org\/en\/infrastructure-marketing-and-cooperation-is-needed-when-attracting-people-to-the-kvarken-region\/\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.kvarken.org\/en\/finland-and-sweden-need-more-long-term-perspective-thinking\/\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-16000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kvarken.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cropped-AURORA-RGB-Color-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"136\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viktor Salenius, one of the key speakers at the Kvarken Council\u2019s event during Wasa Future Festival, argued that the energy transition and the climate crisis that we\u2019re facing is making collaborative forms necessary in the Kvarken region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":18230,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"amnen":[94,95,93,90],"class_list":["post-18265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","amnen-business","amnen-cooperation-structures","amnen-environment","amnen-infrastructure"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
