BDF Summit and EUSBSR Annual Forum 2012

The 14th Baltic Development Forum Summit and the European Commission’s 3rd Annual Forum on the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, organised together with the Danish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, the Capital Region of Denmark and the Region of Zealand, will take place in Copenhagen on 18-19 June under the headline “Connecting Europe – Smart and Green Partnerships in the Baltic Sea Region”.

This large-scale event, bringing together more than 800 stakeholders, provides a unique platform for leaders from government, political parties, business, academia and civil society to discuss cooperation possibilities and growth initiatives in the Baltic Sea Region.

Programme

The agenda will focus on growth and competitiveness in the Baltic Sea Region, with the spotlight on infrastructure development and investment projects, not least public-private co-operation.

The State of the Region Report, sponsored by the European and Nordic Investment Banks, will provide important input to the discussions on the challenges and opportunities facing the countries around the Baltic Sea. At the same time, the event is an opportunity to present the European Commission’s new Communication on the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region and accompanying Council Conclusions, which set out the new framework for cooperating in the region.

Networking and Project Village & Baltic Business Arena

The Networking and Project Village is a key part of the Summit and the Annual Forum. Companies, Flagship Projects of the EUSBSR, NGOs and many others will display their work on improving the Baltic Sea Region. In line with the overall theme for the event, the Village will give special focus to infrastructure projects.

As a novelty this year, a Baltic Business Arena for small and medium enterprises will be organised as a matchmaking event in parallel to the Summit/Annual Forum in order to foster greater cross-border trade and investment. It is expected that this event will attract over 100 companies from all parts of the Baltic Sea Region.
