Interreg South Baltic Programme 2021-2027

Small-scale project:Regular / full scale
Programme Measure:
→ Measure 2.1: Supporting transition towards green energy
Main project objective: Establishment of the reliable and cooperative solutions aimed at strengthening local businesses & administrations in the offshore value chain
Common territorial challenge/need addressed:
→ In many cases, the development of the offshore wind in the Baltic Sea region does not provide sufficient benefits to the local communities
→ Ensuring that the offshore wind fosters the development of the regions is crucial for increasing the social acceptance for the climate policy as well as development of the projects
Planned project activities:
→ Mapping the barriers for the SMEs & regional communities (governments) for participation in the wind energy projects
→ The Good Practice Cookbook
→ Workshops for SMEs & local communities
→  e-Marketplace for the SMEs – web app aimed at fostering the creation of consortiums & exchange of the experience to strengthen offers provided to the investors
→ Study visits
→ From shore to core – advocacy activities
Outputs and results foreseen:
→ E-Marketplace: platform which will foster the local SMEs ability to create robust, comprehensive and attractive offers for the investors and therefore increasing the share of LC in offshore investments
→ The Good Practices Cookbook: the overview of the good practices of ensuring the local content in the huge investments & recommendation on how to ensure such participation
→ Workshops for SMEs to identify the barriers as well as to equip them with the know-how on how to advocate for wider participation in the offshore wind investments
Initial project duration
From 04.05.2026
Until 31.05.2029

Type of the project: Small-scale project
Programme Measure:
→ Measure 4.1: Strengthen the cooperation capacity of actors based within the South Baltic Area (incl. civil society)
Main project objective: Throughout the regions around the Baltic sea, different knowledges about traditional building and connected supply chains for materials has been kept alive and ”living” or diminished. Today, many of these fields are of higher interest again – both in terms of preservation but also as ways of building sustainable for the future.
Common territorial challenge/need addressed:
→ Traditional knowledge connected to house building and preservation have been lost in different regions but remain vivid in others.
→ Material supply chains for traditional building have in many places ceased to exist, or are malfunctioning, even though there is a local and/or regional demand.
→ The connection and exchange around the Baltics concerning this field is weak or non-existing.
Planned project activities:
→ Initial field overview (Which actors? Which traditional methods & supply chains are in use, and where?)
→ Visits, workshops, and other exchange activities.
→ Building nodes in each region, construction frames for further education and raised level of competence.
Outputs and results foreseen:
→ Knowledge about which traditional building methods that exists in the different regions and how these can be exchanged.
→ Create regional centres for further exchange and spreading of knowledge.
→ Strengthen the common identity around the Baltics.
→ Resilient and sustainable ways of building and supplying material are spread, giving way for new building with traditional core values.
Initial project duration
From 01.04.2026
Until 31.03.2027
