The upcoming fixed Femern Belt link will remove an important “missing link” in a cohesive transport and development corridor between the Öresund Region and Hamburg – which Green STRING Corridor aims to build on
The Öresund Region is situated in the northern part of Europe;
and as such has vast political will for improving the accessibility
to the European Continent.
The project will suggest and facilitate the start-up of new
initiatives and actions for businesses, municipalities, regions and
research institutions. The project will also take the first steps
towards implementing some of the identified initiatives. This will
take place through facilitation and matchmaking among companies,
authorities and research institutions; and through the running of
the project in order to establish a strong project consortium,
working with applying these initiatives. The project will place a
strong emphasis on creating strong networks in sectors with
potential for growth and cooperation.
The project has two overall goals. The first goal is to identify
the sectors and companies which will have special growth
opportunities through the establishment of a green transport
corridor between Öresund and Hamburg. This will be of special
interest to logistics and goods transportation. The target
groups are business organisations, selected sector organisations
and public businesses in charge developing framework conditions
regarding business development in the Öresund Region.
Another goal is to identify the physical, organisational and
legal barriers limiting the full capitalisation of the value
available for the business community in the Öresund Region with the
establishment of the Femern Belt link. Through these goals, an
action plan will be developed with cross-border initiatives for the
involved parties of the project and public authorities. This
especially applies to the opportunity for Swedish and German
parties to contribute to the strengthening of Copenhagen Airport's
intercontinental traffic routes.
