Dialogue and workshop on EU programs 2021-2027

The work to develop a new program for Upper Norrland within the EU's regional fund continues. On October 15th, it's time for a workshop in Skellefteå. It's also possible to participate digitally.

Upper Norrland is in the process of developing a development program for the years 2021-2027. In total, it involves billions of kronor to be used to develop Norrbotten and Västerbotten over these seven years. The money comes from the European Regional Development Fund and enables projects to develop innovation and entrepreneurship, infrastructure, green investments and broadband.

The workshop provides an opportunity to discuss how we want Upper Norrland to develop until 2027. This is the second dialogue meeting of two and the only one where actors from Norrbotten and Västerbotten come together for a joint dialogue. Perhaps the meeting can lay the foundation for more collaborations between Västerbotten and Norrbotten.

You and your organization are important in ensuring that the program's efforts, priorities and development projects are directed towards the right challenges and opportunities.
