RYE SC

Rural Youth Entrepreneurship Sustainability Challenge

The aim of the RYE Sustainability Challenge was to task teams of young innovators and creative thinkers to provide solutions to urgent sustainability and climate issues through the lens of new and viable business ideas.

The events and activities we organized were highly interactive and they were showcasing how real sustainability issues facing our communities in the Northern Periphery and Arctic regions can be tackled with creative thinking and cooperation, giving the initiative to the young people, and at the same time creating openings for growth, recovery and regional prosperity. The networking and joint ideas generation format were designed to help remove geographical barriers and promote knowledge transfer and positive movement. The idea was to ”Act Local Impact Global”.
