HALRIC is proud to take part in EU Days Lund 2025 (23–24 September), a forum that has grown into Sweden’s national arena for shaping the future of the European Union.
As part of the session “Unlocking the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link: Boosting Competitiveness and Innovation in a New Cross-Border Region”, HALRIC’s project partners from Lund University (Kajsa Paulsson, HALRIC Project director), Medicon Valley Alliance (Anette Steenberg, CEO) and Life Science Nord (Oliver Schacht, Managing Director) will join a distinguished panel alongside representatives from the European Commission and Region Skåne. Together, they will explore how the upcoming Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link can catalyse life science collaboration, green investments, and cross-border innovation.
“In four years, the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link will be inaugurated. This will be a game changer, connecting Hamburg and northern Germany much closer to Copenhagen and Malmö-Lund-Skåne. How can we strengthen our common competitiveness regarding trade and business cooperation? How do we make this geography a European hotspot for the life science sector, green investments, research and innovation? What issues do we need to address at the EU and national levels to fully utilize the potential of this new cross-border region? These are some of the questions we will discuss during this seminar.”
This year’s EU Days is especially momentous, marking 30 years of Sweden’s EU membership and 25 years of the Öresund Bridge, two key milestones in regional and European integration.
Whether in Lund or online, join us in discussing how regional connectivity can help build a more competitive and research-driven Europe.
Registration is free of charge and closes on 10 September.
