NORA always has a strong presence at the Arctic Circle conference, and 2025 was no exception. NORA arranged three sessions. The first, From Fjord to Future, focused on the future of seafood and aquaculture and culminated in a presentation of dishes prepared by participants in the Arctic Young Chef competition and made with six fish species that are currently under utilised. Together with the Nordland County Council, we also held Silver Sparks: Unlocking Senior Potential, a panel that focused on older people as an important resource in local development. Lastly, and in cooperation with Orkney Islands Council, NORA put on a session that presented the results from the Stornoway conference earlier in the year.
