Fairbanks Chamber Weekly Business Presentation: "Looking North: Alaska's Role in the Arctic"

From shifting geopolitics due to the war in Ukraine to rapid changes in the polar ice cap, Alaska faces both challenges and opportunities in the Far North. As the host of the largest Arctic convening in North America - the Arctic Encounter - how will Alaska strategically influence US Arctic policy? This discussion will highlight opportunities, engage challenges, and discuss what's to come. 

Alaska is the first line of defense for US Arctic security.

Alaska's cities should be known as critical international hubs for Arctic policy and business decision making.

Alaskan indigenous leaders should have a seat at the table when decisions on the future of the Far North are decided in Washington DC.

Investment opportunities in Alaska and the Far North can and should be a bright line for the future generations of young Alaskan entrepreneurs, researchers, educators, and policymakers.
