Through the rapid development of the fisheries industry in the eighties and nineties, our isolated and dispersed hunting communities have experienced economic growth and social development, heralding the advent of a modern Arctic society.

Greenland’s natural resources are an enormous commercial asset. The exploration and development of our oil and minerals will be our most important industrial sector in the future, the commercial potential of which is yet far from fully explored.

Furthermore, tourism is becoming an increasingly important economic sector. Visitors from all over the world today seek to explore our magnificent natural environment and to experience the unique inuit culture of Greenland.

Our vast and majestic inland ice is the source of unlimited freshwater supplies – actually it is the largest freshwater reserve in the world. Exports of ice and fresh water has begun some years ago – but still in a small scale. We believe, that the exports of ice and water will become a major industry in Greenland in the decades to come.

Greenland is also involved in research, trying to explore the ways in which the Arctic can provide new solutions for the rest of the world to enjoy. Whether technology or food products research and development in Greenland has something new to share with the world.
