/ Arendalsuka 2023: "Is the renewable energy initiative in Norway ready for life?"

- Norway and Germany have strengthened their energy cooperation, and Arendalsuka is a great arena for us to come together and discuss what this means for business in southern Norway. Among other things, we will explore what framework conditions must be in place for increased value creation in the renewable sector and what new industry can be created in the wake of the trade cooperation," says Geir Haugum, Business Manager in Kristiansand municipality.

In collaboration with the Norwegian-German Chamber of Commerce, GCE Node, EnBW and the Chamber of Commerce in the Kristiansand region, we will offer several appeals and a rich panel discussion with perspectives from key companies such as Norsk Industri, Herøya Industripark and Morrow Batteries.

- We look forward to a good debate. Morrow Batteries plays an important role in developing a Norwegian battery industry. It responds to the goal of new value creation in southern Norway, which will strengthen a European value chain for renewable energy. At the same time, the current strong Norwegian-German partnership provides a robust platform for cooperation between the two countries," says Liv Monica Stubholt, Chairman of the Board of Morrow Batteries.

We'll be delving into this and much more at Arendalsuka. The event will take place at Kanalplassen from 15:30 to 16:30, where editor and social debater Gunnar Stavrum will be present as debate leader.
