100 participants from 12 countries gathered in Sweden/Skellefteå in May for TransBaltic Conference 2011 – “A model region for green transport solutions” to discuss transport and infrastructure in the Baltic Sea Region focusing on the region’s internal connectivity and its external accessibility. Invited speakers from the region as well as from India and North America inspired to animated discussions between the audience and the panels featuring pan-Baltic organisations and TransBaltic stakeholders. What do we need to consider when preparing for a green future, what is crucial in achieving this and what policy measures do we require?
A report summarizing the two day long conference with highlights from presentations and discussions is now available. Download the report here.
The conference did not only highlight transport and infrastructure issues but did also draw some attention to the northern parts of Sweden. The municipality of Skellefteå took the opportunity to invite the conference participants for an evening to remember letting them experience what the region has got to offer visitors.
