– PAVING THE WAY FOR A GREEN TRANSITION IN SOUTHERN SWEDEN

Blekinge has rarely seen more favorable conditions for growth than today. Global developments are accelerating opportunities for strategic business establishments, making the region a key player in the green transition.

According to industrial advisor Peter Nygårds, three key factors are driving Blekinge’s remarkable development. The region’s ports are emerging as critical hubs, not only in light of NATO membership and strengthened transport links to the Baltic region and Eastern Europe but also as prime locations for businesses utilizing maritime transport in innovative ways. With the Sydostlänken railway now connecting from the north, the logistics landscape is rapidly transforming.

This will have a highly positive impact, as rail connections to the ports will create a comprehensive, climate-smart transport solution. Around the ports and railway, new opportunities for business establishments will also emerge. There is growing interest in being close to this dynamic environment.
