Svalbard Business Association was first established to provide knowledge and advice to its members associated with business life in Longyearbyen, and to operate as a spokesperson for the further development of the world's northernmost community.

 

We aim to challenge government policy and matters related to sustainable living conditions on Svalbard - as of 2023, particularly focused on the critical housing situation, costs around transition of power supply, flight and transport, and regulations in the business world.

 

Breakfast meetings are a central part of our work, as communication and interdisciplinary dialogue help maintain a dynamic society in constant development. At these meetings, we invite our members to participate as a valuable resource and to contribute in open dialogue around the many current issues that arise, as well as encourage input that can inspire guest lecturers etc.
