Summit Convened Stakeholders to Identify Problems, Strategize Solutions

The 2019 Alaska Summit for Place-Based Resilience convened to discuss overlapping priorities between key stakeholder groups.

Stakeholder participating in the September 4-6 event included representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Department of Defense, Office of Naval Research, Alaskan startups, Alaskan research entities, and Alaskan communities.
