The Scandria partnership comprises 19 partners from five countries: Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Germany and represents an effective mixture of actors from national, regional and local administrations, key logistic actors as well as knowledge and innovation institutions. Scandria is committed to the ideas of a “Green” Corridor of innovation and sustainable growth.

Its main objectives are:

1. To increase the infrastructural efficiency for passengers and freight.
2. To improve the accessibility of regional economic potentials by activating new value-added chains and innovative, process-optimised logistic solutions.
3. To build a network of political and economic stakeholders for the corridor’s development.

These goals are reflected in the three main thematic pillars:

1. QUALITY OF TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURES to solve transport bottlenecks and improve co-modal transport, to test Intelligent Transport Solutions and to foster clean fuels for reducing.
2. INNOVATIVE LOGISTIC SOLUTIONS to elaborate several business cases like multimodal block trains, new ferry connections or new logistic concepts accompanied by a marketing campaign. Main outcome will be a “Logistic Business Development Strategies”.
3. STRATEGY OF CORRIDOR FUNCTIONALITY to network economic, scientific and political stakeholders and to define development scenarios and targets.

Main outcome is the “Action Programme on the Development of the Scandria Corridor” defining a corridor vision for 2030 and proposing concrete actions to realise this vision. Moreover, Scandria contributed by a number of results to European and Baltic Sea Region Development, e.g. by its Green Corridor Strategy or its TEN-T position paper. Providing the link to Central and Alpine Space, Scandria fosters cross-fertilization with related projects in those cooperation areas as well as in the BSR or further European networks (e.g. METREX).
