Arctic 360, in collaboration with the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary International History, the Wilson Center's Polar Initiative and Munk School of Global Affairs, invites you to the inaugural Arctic investment conference. 

The global geopolitics and economics of the Arctic is undergoing intense transformation. Despite global attention to the opening of a new blue ocean and the possibilities of a host of new resource development, up to now, infrastructure from roads, to housing, ports, SAR, fibre optic cable and other necessary components of a vibrant economy have been unevenly developed throughout the Arctic at best if not lacking in its entirety. The successful growth of the emerging North American economy requires insightful pan- Arctic thinking. It also requires new theoretical and applied economic approaches toward harnessing and carrying out investment in the region. Central to that success is the active and informed role of northern stakeholders, northern decision-makers, northern rights holders, and northern business leaders in determining the future of the region.

It is with this foundation that Arctic 360 in collaboration with the Bill Graham Centre for Contemporary History, the Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto and the Wilson Center’s Polar Initiative, D.C. will host the opportunity for leading minds and players in the financial sector to discuss ways forward for successful Arctic investment and development.
