This year, the National Nordic Museum will be making its annual Nordic Innovation Summit a free virtual event.
The summit will be a half-day event on Thursday, May 14, from 8:30am to 11:30am. The speakers will include Nordic and Pacific Northwest leaders in sustainable economic growth, environmental stewardship, and corporate social responsibility.
This year’s event will also include a report on how each Nordic country is dealing with COVID-19 challenges, and an update from Ericsson on how 5G technology will play into helping economies recover worldwide.
Here’s a rundown of some of the highlights to expect (from the museum):
