Who we are
About us











In 2008, the Ministers of Transport of Denmark and Germany signed a state treaty on the construction of a fixed link between Fehmarn on the German and Lolland on the Danish side of the Fehmarnbelt. The Fehmarnbelt fixed link is to strengthen the axis of growth between the metropolitan areas of Copenhagen/Malmö and Hamburg/Lübeck.
It is only with the early involvement of the business community that the Fehmarnbelt fixed link becomes a success from the very first day of opening. These regions can only stabilise and secure their economic growth in the course of globalisation if they learn to cooperate with one another – across natural and political borders. It is therefore important to identify the opportunities for cooperation and development potential in the region along the growth axis at an early stage and to bring possible actors together.
