Arctic Summit 2015
12 March, 2015
Oslo , Norway
HAS INVESTING IN THE ARCTIC BEEN OVERSOLD?
The ice might be melting but megaprojects planned in the Arctic are coming to a grinding halt with dropping oil prices, rising tensions with Russia and America’s new production capabilities. The icy ‘last frontier’ is expensive and hazardous for all industries and stakeholders are weighing the return on their current and future investments. Is commercial interest in the Arctic a bubble about to burst?
In 2015, The Economist Events’ Arctic Summit will return to Oslo, Norway on March 12th 2015.
TOPICS TO BE COVERED INCLUDE:
• Can the Arctic serve as a reliable alternative transport corridor?
• In-depth country focus: Russia’s evolving strategy and positioning in the Arctic
• New leadership and transition in the Arctic Council: The US approach
• What effect will the sanctions against Russia by US/EU have on the Arctic energy industry?
• Will China benefit from the deterioration in Western-Russian relations in the European Arctic?
Speakers:
James Astill,Børge Brende,Jason E. Box,Peter Hinchliffe,Malte Humpert,Áile Jávo,Timo Koivurova,Tom Paddon, Jarand Rystad, Zhang Pei and many more...
