The City of Stavanger aims to become climate neutral by 2030, and to achieve this the municipality cannot do it all by themselves, it requires action from all sectors. As a nordic innovation cluster we have a responsibility to be smart with a heart, and help cities and members get further, faster, together.
Today, Terje Eide and the Mayor of Stavanger signed a letter of intent, whereby Nordic Edge will contribute to the City of Stavanger in becoming climate neutral as a part of the initiative.
«It is crucial that we, as a society, succeed in achieving our ambitious climate goals. The business sector plays a key role in the success of Mission Cities. Nordic Edge, both on its own, and together with our cluster members, will be a driving force in this effort. Praise goes to Mayor Sissel Knutsen Hegdal and Stavanger Municipality for taking the initiative and once again stands at the front to lead the way» – Terje Eide, CEO Nordic Edge
Nordic Edge will support Stavanger kommune with the following:
– As an innovation cluster with 200 member companies, our core mission is to help create smarter and more sustainable cities. Our primary contribution to achieving Stavanger´s climate goals is to enable our member companies to succeed in commercializing their solutions.
– As a part of this we will strengthen efforts to secure capital for green investments in our member companies
– Additionally, through our own activities and project collaboration such as the New European Bauhaus projects, we will increase our focus on choosing climate-friendly solutions for transport and material use Nordic Edge is fully committed to these actions and look forward to achieving these goals together.
