STAND OUT USING ARCTIC DESIGN
Success is made distinct with design.
Design products that are naturally the same in terms of aesthetics, functionality, durability, and responsibility. Develop solutions that can overcome challenging conditions. Create once-in-a-lifetime experiences with Arctic power. Rovaniemi is the Arctic Design Capital.
Rovaniemi and its local partner network provide you with more than 40 product development environments, competence, researched knowledge – and northern inspiration!
WHY DOES THE WORLD NEED ARCTIC DESIGN?
The Arctic is warming four times faster than the Earth’s average. Change affects us all.
Expectations are focused on Arctic design. Its role is to support the sustainable development of the Arctic, which takes into account its demanding conditions, respects the diversity of its sensitive nature, and improves the quality of life of its inhabitants.
THIS IS ARCTIC DESIGN
- Bold and creative problem-solving solutions with the help of new knowledge and technology, using scarce resources wisely
- Sustainable development and responsibility at the core – respect for natural resources and biodiversity developed in demanding conditions
