| Second International Northern Dimension Forum - projects for the macroregion - 17th February 2010,
Saint-Petersburg, Russia |
|
The Northern Dimension policy is the form of the relationships between the European Union,
Norway, Iceland and the Russian Federation (North-West Russia), including the Baltic sea region and the
Arctic region.
The First International Northern Dimension Forum was successfully held in 2008. The idea of
creation of the Northern Dimension Business Council was one of its outcomes.
Taking into account that the region has a big business and investment potential in such spheres as
mining, ecology, energy and energy saving, transport, forest industry and provides sufficient conditions
for the development of the small and medium enterprises, on the November 12 in Stockholm the Northern
Dimension Senior Officials approved the creation of the Business Council of the Northern Dimension as a
unique site for development of the business activity in the Northern Europe.
The Second Northern Dimension Forum- the projects for macroregion (hereafter the Second
Northern Dimension Forum) will be the first public event prepared by the Northern Dimension Business
Council. The implementation of the business projects, establishment of public-private partnership in the
area of the Northern Dimension policy and role of the Northern Dimension Business Council in that
process will be in the focus of the Forum.
The Second Northern Dimension Forum will present the views of Russian and European businesses
on perspectives of the development of business cooperation on the territory of the Northern Dimension
policy.
