2025 Arctic Circle Assembly

The annual Arctic Circle Assembly brings together governments, organizations, corporations, universities, think tanks, environmental associations, Indigenous communities, citizens, and others for a comprehensive and democratic dialogue on the Arctic. The Arctic Circle Assembly is the largest gathering on Arctic affairs. It is a place for international engagement, cooperation, and celebration.

The Arctic Circle Polar Dialogue will continue at the 2025 Assembly. It will consist of a series of Sessions, consultative meetings, workshops, and high-level Plenary Sessions.

During the Assembly, the Arctic Circle Business Forum will continue from its successful launch from last year. The Business Forum participants will benefit from a wide range of opportunities, high-level networking events, discussions on future trends, entrepreneurship, and finance in the Arctic.

The Arctic Circle Business Forum builds on over a decade of meaningful engagement by leading businesses and financial institutions with Arctic Circle’s platforms. Designed to serve the full range of the Arctic business community, from innovative start-ups to established enterprises, the Forum will continue to offer significant advantages to its participants and support economic growth and collaboration throughout the Arctic.
