International Cooperation

The public as well as companies in Blekinge are increasingly affected by globalization and international competitiveness. This indicates the importance of strategic and well-functioning international relations and shows achieving growth and prosperity for the region is an important aspect. Successful international contacts and relations give us greater potential to meet the challenges ahead.

Today, there is already close cooperation with the Baltic Sea States as well as with Kaliningrad. At the same time more in-depth relations are being created with the Öresund Region. We are also expanding the contacts established during last year with India, as well as fostering contacts with China through participation in the world expo in Shanghai 2010.
