INFRASTRUCTURE AND LOGISTICS
Blekinge is conveniently located in south east of Sweden, in the middle of the Baltic region close to important European markets. You can fly to Stockholm in one hour from Ronneby Airport and in two and a half hours by train or car, you’re at Copenhagen Airport, Scandinavia’s largest flight hub.
INTERNATIONAL HARBOURS
Blekinge has an extensive network of regional train services, good road infrastructure and three interna-tional harbours; Karlshamn, Karlskrona and Sölvesborg. All three harbours in Blekinge offer a wide range of services such as attractive intermodal solutions and storage. Two of these harbours are part of the Trans-European Transport Network “TEN-T” with multiple daily departures, to Poland, Lithuania and Germany with new energy efficient RoPax ferries. European road E22 is also part of “TEN-T” and is currently undergoing major improvements for increased capacity and safety. Blekinge thereby is the natural gateway to large population centres in central and eastern Europe and beyond.
EASY ACCESS
In Blekinge, distances are short – both geographically and mental-ly. Only 100 kilometers from east to west, 40 kilometers north to south, with five municipalities and easy access to decisionmakers. All eager to support business development.
ENERGY STABILITY
Blekinge has a stable electric grid with no present bottlenecks limiting the use of electricity. There are district heating systems for heating and circular use of residual heat from industrial processes and the potential of solar power is excellent as we are in the top three regions of sun hours per day.
GREEN ENERGY POTENTIAL
The unexploited areas in the Baltic sea outside Blekinge has drawn a lot of attention from some of Europe’s largest companies within offshore wind energy. There are a number of projects in different stages of development with potentially large amounts of green energy landing in Blekinge.
