Nina Soleng, International Sales Manager at Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) in Tromsø. A world leading company providing services based on polar orbiting satellites. Nina will talk about the concept of observation, seeing things from a birds eye perspective, and how observing the Earth from space provides a different look on things. She will touch on the advantages of being located on the edge of the north pole and the importance of satellite monitoring in the high North. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
