The Polynya Effect

The Polynya Effect is about telling the stories of young entrepreneurs in the Arctic. From urban innovation hubs to remote Indigenous communities, each episode follows the founders, researchers, and ecosystem actors who are rewriting the playbook for startups and scale-ups to fit the reality of the Arctic's business environment. Reinterpret how culture, policy, community, and logistics shape entrepreneurship and discover how circularity and Indigenous knowledge are being engineered into strong competitive advantages. Created, hosted and produced by Carter Ayasse for Arctic Business Index.
