came from energy companies participating in the <\/span><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Bothnia Green Energy<\/span><\/i><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> project.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">The rationale is to strengthen cooperation across the entire Kvarken region in the energy sector and create a platform for dialogue between politics, academia, and energy companies.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">The working committee is tasked with developing an energy agenda and an annual action plan.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2013 T<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">he Kvarken Council\u2019s vision is for the Kvarken region to make the most meaningful global impact through Nordic cooperation, and one of the five key issues identified by the member organizations is to promote green transition in our region.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">The working committee for energy has a central role in this task, and it carries out concrete activities and initiatives that contribute to regional development and cross-border cooperation.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">The committee\u2019s efforts also ensure that collaboration continues and stays alive even when there are no current projects bringing the actors together, states <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Ms Veronica Berg,<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> Development Manager at the Kvarken Council.<\/span><span

also include representatives of organizations that are not and cannot become members of the Kvarken Council EGTC.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">The idea is to effectively listen to needs and ideas from the field and ensure that cooperation initiatives have a regional or local order and recipient.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233279&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:120}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u2013 <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The Kvarken Council promotes cooperation across sector boundaries to develop new solutions to complex problems.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">We work together with academia, industries, and other public institutions to create synergies and innovations that can lead to real societal change.<\/span> <span data-contrast=\"auto\">Establishing working committees like this is possible thanks to our EGTC organizational form and is a concrete example of how we apply this relatively new organizational form for us, says <\/span><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Mr

Brandt reminded that Finland\u2019s security of supply has deep historical roots dating back to the First World War.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Iron, gunpowder, and grain \u2013 that\u2019s where it starts. We are very proud of our capacity to maintain continuity during crises, which has been proven several times throughout history, not least during the oil crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, he explained.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the central part of Brandt\u2019s presentation was dedicated to the Nordic Connector project, which he describes as a lifeline for the security and development of the region and the entire Northern Nordics.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brandt emphasized that the project offers a new dimension of cooperation and integration across regional borders. It can act as a catalyst for further collaboration and development and has the potential to radically reshape future landscapes in both the Northern Nordics and Europe.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Through Nordic Connector, we are not only creating new trade routes and communication lines but also stronger ties between communities across regional borders, which enhances our collective resilience up here in the North, he explained.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 This vision of connectivity has occasionally been forgotten but is today more relevant than ever. We are facing not just an opportunity to physically connect two coasts but also to ideologically and economically integrate the northern parts of Europe, Brandt concluded.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In his speech at Europaforum, Brandt emphasized the importance of continuing to promote development initiatives like these at regional, national, and European levels to ensure success and to strengthen security and development in northern Europe.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watch and listen to Mats\u2019s speech here (in Swedish): <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/DR4BFEE5lBQ\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/DR4BFEE5lBQ<\/a><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[68,12],"tags":[],"amnen":[95,99],"class_list":["post-20908","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-release","category-uncategorized","amnen-cooperation-structures","amnen-egtc"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Kvarken Council EGTC Establishes a Working Committee for Energy - Kvarkenr\u00e5det<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kvarken.org\/en\/kvarken-council-egtc-establishes-a-working-committee-for-energy\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Kvarken Council EGTC Establishes a Working Committee for Energy - Kvarkenr\u00e5det\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A working committee for energy was established in connection to the Kvarken Council EGTC\u2019s Annual General Meeting in Kokkola, Finland, on May\u202f23\u201324.
