WELCOME
WELCOME TO FEHMARNBELT DAYS 2014!
From 2021 the Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link - Northern Europe’s biggest infrastructure project - will connect Denmark and Germany along the shortest possible route. The Fehmarnbelt region – a region stretching from northern Germany across Denmark into southern Sweden – will be exceedingly interconnected by the tunnel. This way, new opportunities for living, working and leisure will emerge for its nine million inhabitants. New jobs will be created, new businesses will be founded, existing companies will have strong incentives to move to the region, and scientific collaboration will become easier. As the cities of the region – big and small– are tied closer together, cultural exchange between the inhabitants of the three countries will increase. The tourism industry will also profit from the ability to create new and innovative offers and attract new visitors to the region. The Fehmarnbelt Days are about exploring all of these opportunities. In line with the vision behind the Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link, this year’s Fehmarnbelt Days event has been themed Creating Connections. For three days, industry experts, politicians and citizens from Germany, Denmark and Sweden will come together in Copenhagen to explore the opportunities that lie within an interconnected Fehmarnbelt Region. A number of conferences and events are dedicated to key topics such as infrastructure, tourism, and business as well as the labour market, transportation, education and research. Existing cooperation will be strengthened and new initiatives will be formed to fully harvest the benefits of an interconnected region after 2021.

ABOUT
The focus of Fehmarnbelt Days 2014 is “Creating Connections�. Key areas to be addressed include infrastructure, tourism, business, the labour market, transport and logistics, and education and research. The Fehmarnbelt Days will also host a variety of social and cultural events in the heart of Copenhagen.
THE FEHMARNBELT REGION The Fehmarnbelt Region spans a diverse geographical area. Not only does the region reach through three different national states, it also encompasses many different sub-regions, each one with its own hallmark. The Fehmarnbelt Region stretches from northern Germany via Denmark to southern Sweden, and is home to 8.5 million inhabitants.
8.5 MILLION PEOPLE CONNECTED A direct fixed link will connect millions of people and offer opportunities for people, business, and culture. The Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link is the key to a prosperous and transnational region. Visiting your neighbours will become easier: Danes, Swedes and Germans will be able to interact more easily and more frequently. With the realization of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel, Scandinavia and Europe will grow closer together; in business, culture, infrastructure, tourism, green energy, research and development, through a 8

common labour market, and many more fields.
TRADE AND TOURISM The Fehmarnbelt tunnel is about job creation; better interconnectedness strengthens the whole region and stimulates job creation. With a high-speed rail connection the Fehmarnbelt tunnel will make rail freight more attractive, leading to more companies transporting their goods by rail something which will benefit the environment. Thus, the Fehmarnbelt fixed link will be the green corridor into central Europe/into Scandinavia. The Fehmarnbelt region offers great potential for new tourism from both international and regional markets. Tourism in the Fehmranbelt region is already increasing and will become even more international once access is made even easier by the Fehmarnbelt fixed link.
