Last week, the spotlight was on Northern Europe's cross-border infrastructure in a shifting geopolitical landscape during the STRING and Region Skåne event at Connecting Europe Days in Brussels.

With a focus on the Helsingør-Helsingborg fixed link and the Oslo-Göteborg railway stretch, the importance of these connections was underscored.

Hans Tino Hansen, CEO of Risk Intelligence, along with other specialists, added invaluable insights during the panel discussion, emphasising the intersection of civilian and military infrastructure needs. With Sweden's new NATO requirements in mind, enhanced cross-border connections are imperative.

Highlighted was Risk Intelligence's recent report, commissioned by STRING and Helsingborgs stad. It delves into the military and security implications of projects of the Helsingør-Helsingborg tunnel, pivotal for bolstering defence capabilities in Northern Europe amid a shifting geopolitical landscape.

With initiatives like these and the collaborative efforts of organisations like STRING, the future of Northern Europe's infrastructure is not only promising but strategically vital.

The original release date of the report was on 4 April 2024, as published by STRING.
