3. CleanTech - Miljöteknik
Clean is more than green
Clean technology, or “cleantech,” should not be
confused with the terms environmental technology or
“green tech” popularized in the 1970s and 80s.
Cleantech is new technology and related business
models that offer competitive returns for investors and
customers while providing solutions to global
challenges.

9. The global market is big for sustainable ideas and solutions
There is a need for new cities for about 4 billion people in
the next 40 – 50 years!!
There is a need for new homes for 350.000 – 400.000 per day
during the next 40 – 50 years
The infrastructure can not be built in the old fashion way
New cities with new technology – Clean Tech and EcoCycleDesign
How can we mobilize the whole world in this challenge?
You can play a vital role in creating a
sustainable and eco-cycle adapted world!

“Å
re has always had a good supply
of motivated entrepreneurs and
innovators. Determined peo-
ple who have understood Åre’s
potential and wanted to further
development,” says Lars-Börje ‘Bulan’ Eriksson.
As the managing director of Åreföretagarna, Åre’s
business group, he has a key role in implementing
the vision for 2020.
Åreföretagarna has more than 200 members
who have one thing in common: they need tour-
ism to run their businesses. They have formu-
lated a common vision in which ‘environmental
responsibility’ will be one of three focus areas for
the destination in the next decade. The other two
are ‘unique experiences, year round’ and ‘Åre’s
welcome knows no bounds’.
“In order to meet our target, we must be clear
down to the level of the individual. We have to
communicate correctly all the way out to our
guests,” says Eriksson. There has been no lack of
ideas in work on this vision. ‘Taste Åre’ is an estab-
lished concept that is within the framework of the
vision’s environmental focus.
“WE WANT TO connect local farmers with our
service companies. In the best of worlds, we would
only consume locally produced foodstuffs and
avoid diversions that cost time and carbon emis-
sions,” says Eriksson. He believes that cooperation
can be significantly better than it is at present, the
dialogue between restaurants and farmers can be
both clearer and create greater profitability than it
does today.
“Meanwhile, there are local businesses that
have already taken this one step further. The Fjäll-
bete company has removed supplementary feed
like cattle cake and produces meat solely by letting
the animals graze in Åre’s green valleys.
To complete the cycle, the next stage – on
paper – is to use waste and convert by-products to
energy.
“Our challange is to create the carbon neutral
destination and we have just come into contact
with a supplier to provide us with a web-based
tool that we can use for real time measurement of
carbon emissions. It is highly probable that the
destination absorbs carbon during the summer,
while the results are worse in the winter. If we can
visualise the challenge in this way, I think we have
started on the right road. We are not just talking
about a technological challenge, but also a finan-
cial one.” !
