Triple F's Nordic Conference for Fossil Free Freight
(The event will be held in English)
Welcome to Triple F's Nordic Conference, where we will be discussing common challenges and possibilities for the Nordic countries and how we through collaboration can accelerate the development of sustainable freight transports.
The Nordic countries are similar in many ways since we are small countries that depend on each other and have a lot of trade between the countries. This leads to many cross-border transports and a need for cooperation. We have common goals for the transition within the EU, but may have different paths to get there. Do we use the same tools or do we have different strategies? This, we want to explore during the Triple F Nordic Conference for Fossil Free Freight on October 19.
