EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region Annual Conference
Since the Baltic Sea Region re-established itself 20 years ago,
regional cooperation has been driven by high political and
economic ambitions. The EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region
was introduced in 2009 to address key challenges and
untapped potential of this large region, covering about one
third of the total area of the EU. To ensure that the Strategy
succeeds in taking cooperation in the Region to higher level,
new ambitions and targets now need to be discussed. The
place and time for this deliberation is Gdansk, the 24-26 Octobe r
2011, during the 13th Baltic Development Forum Summit
and the European Commission´s 2nd Annual Forum on the
EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region, also co-organised by
the Polish EU-Presidency, Pomorskie Region and the City of
Gdansk.
The new regional ambitions will also play into Europe´s wider
ambitions for 2020 under the headline of Sustainable, Smart
and Inclusive Growth. Stakeholders are invited to take an
active part in the discussions that will provide input to the
Polish EU-Presidency and to wider reflections on the future
development of the Region. Growth strategies need close
partnerships with the private sector.
