TENTacle - PMG meeting 6 April 2016, Helsinki Agenda • • Project background TENTacle aims, facts and figures Partnership Regional pilot activities Macro-regional dimension Results and outputs TENTacle network Lead Partner

Project background TEN-T core network corridors: • New instrument of EU transport policy • Improve mobility, intermodality and interoperability • Remove physical, technical, operational and administrative bottlenecks by 2030 • Involve stakeholders • Capacity challenge: awareness and understanding of roles, responsibilities and impacts by stakeholders Lead Partner

About TENTacle Project aim: Improve stakeholder capacity to reap benefits of the core network corridors implementation for the prosperity, sustainable growth and territorial cohesion in the BSR Baltic Sea Region core network corridors: • Scan-Med • North Sea-Baltic • Baltic-Adriatic Lead Partner

Regional pilot actions Corridor node & transit areas Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link (DE/DK) © Femern A/S How to prepare the market and public authorities for the impacts of the Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link on the Scan-Med Corridor? How to adjust business models and policy response to fully utilise new transport and logistics? Westpomerania-Skåne (PL/SE) How to meet the growing cargo volumes in the N-S direction through the networking of logistic centres on the Baltic. Adriatic Corridor? How to use the European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation to coordinate the greening of transport and to ensure the corridor connectivity across the sea? Gdynia transport node (PL) How to stimulate the growth potential of the corridor entry/exit node which has a key transport gateway function? How to develop a last mile infrastructure in and around an urban node on the Baltic-Adriatic Corridor to both serve the metropolitan growth and the seaborne transit ? Lead Partner

Regional pilot actions Corridor catchment areas Blekinge (SE) How to improve the low accessibility indices of the region? How to utilise the region’s proximity to all the three CNCs to overcome the disadvantageous development standings and reconcile the needs of the labour market mobility and international transport functions in a sustainable way? Vidzeme (LV) How to trigger and sustain growth impulses in a rural and declining region through an improved access of residents and businesses to urban centres and transport nodes (incl. seaports) on the North Sea-Baltic Corridor? How to thereby improve transit location of the region to EE, RU and BY markets? Lead Partner

Regional pilot actions Corridor void areas Central Scandinavia borderland (SE/NO) How to reverse depopulation and economic stagnation trends in the borderland area of Värmland Østfold? How to mobilise public and market stakeholders for coordinated action to improve the access to the two national capitals, integrate public transport services and connect the local industries to international networks? Lahti-North Karelia (FI) How to improve business confidence and stimulate private investments in the local/regional manufacturing and service industry which are on the falling curve after losing export volumes to Russia? What kind of interoperability solutions connecting these areas to the hubs on the Scan-Med Corridor would increase international market opportunities? Lead Partner

Macroregional dimension • • Support European Coordinators to mobilise stakeholders Expand CNCs north- and eastwards • Create synergies with EUSBSR (PA Transport) • Improve transport planning • Inspire other macroregions Multilevel governance in transport - lessons learned Impacts of the CNCs Catching the goods transports from the northern areas to CNCs Interactions: CNCs vs. transport networks of the Eastern Partnership countries Enriching the strategic transport policies Package of policy and action measures to help BSR territories capitalise on the CNCs Lead Partner

TENTacle results Better stakeholder capacity to reap benefits of the core network corridors implementation for the prosperity, sustainable growth and territorial cohesion in the BSR In practise, by the end of 2019: • • • All territories can profit from the CNC. Stakeholders are able to deliver effective growth and prosperity strategies, and to work out logistics solutions on top of CNC investments. European Coordinators receive support in mobilising stakeholders to a joint work. Transport authorities are aware of the CNC-EUSBSR synergies. Other European macroregions are inspired how to make use of CNC. Lead Partner
