The Finnish-Swedish Bothnian Arc Association, the City of Oulu, and the Council of Oulu Region together with a broad set of stakeholders, are organising the Finnish-Swedish European North Transport Forum (ENTF) in Oulu on 21–22 September 2023.

The European North Transport Forum will conclude an interactive Finnish-Swedish co-operation process in the Bothnian Arc in 2022–2023. As a result, a joint vision and goals for the Bothnian Arc transport system has been completed and will be presented at the forum. To ensure a continuous dialogue also in the future, we aim to launch a Finnish-Swedish cross-border transport forum within the Bothnian Arc region. We are stronger when we work together.

The European North Transport Forum will gather decision-makers, transport system experts, regional stakeholders, and representatives from the business sector from EU, Finland, and Sweden. In the forum's programme, we shall discuss the position of the Bothnian Arc in the European TEN-T network; the role of a functioning and sufficient infrastructure and transport as a driver for sustainable growth, business development and attractiveness; and the challenges and prospects of developing a cross-border transport system.
