Domestic air traffic reduced with 33 %Railroad traffic boostedDanish logistics changeDay-tourism: increaseFerry towns loose activity – but compensation
Crosspoint: enforcementCentrality: metropolitan competitionIntegration - economy of scale New mass = new specialisation

What we know!
Infrastructural investments• Fixed link. Price: 4,5 billion Euros• Direct + indirect jobs 30.000-60.000 man years• Denmark: railroad electrification and renewal (double track) 119 kilometers railroad: Copenhagen to tunnel (Ringsted – Rødby)• Germany: Motorway from German network to tunnel (Heiligenhafen Ost – Puttgarten).• Railroad: Lübeck – Tunnel. Ready 2027.
Travel time• Copenhagen – Hamburg: from 4½ to 3 hours = 33 % improvement• Rødby – Puttgarten: from 60 to 10 minutes = 500 % improvement

Research project: the Fehmarnbelt RegionDevelopment Perspectives
• Infrastructure, logistics and traffic
• The role of the cities in a global/regional perspective
• Cross border labour market
• Cross border mobility
• Business clusters
• The scientific world: Centres, networks, development opportunities
• The potential effects of the fixed Fehmarnbelt link on real estate prices
• The cultural sector
• Values and attitudes, knowledge about ”the other side”

Cluster cooperation:Pre- and post fixed Fehmarnbelt link
Clusters:• Medicon Valley Alliance• Øresund Food• Øresund logistics• Øresund Information Technology• Øresund Environment Academy• Clean technology – green power
Profile areas:• Design• Material science/nanotechnology• Business to business services• Tourism
The Øresund Region: Scania, Capital Region, Region Sjælland
Clusters:• Life Science• Maritime Economy• Food Industry• Information Technology• Micro- and Nanotechnology• Wind Energy and Renewable Energy• Chemical Industry (without Pharmacy)• Tourism
Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg
Developing clusters:• Logistics Cluster• Aviation
Present in all sub-regions:• Life science/health• Food• Information technology (plus the medias)• Logistics (with a focus on the maritime)• Wind energy/green technology• Tourism (inclusive of business tourism)
Partial distributed:• Finance sector (with business services)• Cultural sector (medias)• Airport related activities, civil aviation• Material science/nanotechnology• Maritime industries

Minus - loose employment when:• Ferries terminates• Tunnelbuilding finishes
Plus:• Construction period employment• Construction period: increasing interaction and cooperation• Real border region• Potential mobilisation effects: demand for national active• Increase in real estate values• TGV-train: dramatic increase in real estate values – hot spots• Increasing competitiveness in the CPH-HAM corridor• Advantage for centres located in the corridor (lift in status) • New localization pattern: tourism, clusters
Strategic goal:• New North European powerhouse based on new infrastructure and new internal networks
