Success stories within YIE

Young Innovative Entrepreneurs project proudly presents it's first success story! Yngve W. Bergheim from Ramsalt Lab informed us that they launched a product of the YIE program:

Arctic Turn (Murmansk) and Ramsalt Lab (Tromsø), in cooperation with filmmaker Trine Hamran, have produced the web documentary site borderstories.no. “Media daily reports on the new optimism in the north, an optimism caused by the great resources of the region. I believe it is important we remind each other that the greatest resources of the north is the people living here, says Hamran.“

You can follow the web documentary on BarentsObserver.com and have more insight from here.

Participants in the project were Denis Kreminskiy, Евгений Пугачев, Martin Normann Lund, Yngve Bergheim, Erik Falster and Trine Hamran. Martin and Yngve from Ramsalt and Denis from Arctic Turn, first met at the YIE Business Matchmaking conference in Haparanda/Rovaniemi. Shortly thereafter, and with plans for collaboration in mind, five employees at Ramsalt travelled to Murmansk.
