“A unique opportunity”

He encourages innovators from all domains to take part in the Nordic Energy Challenge.
“I especially encourage innovators from startups and SMEs to participate in this unique opportunity. We need a strong Nordic innovation ecosystem that allows great ideas and innovations to reach the market quickly.
