BASAAR, Baltic Sea - Asia Agenda for Regions in a Globalising World, is an EU funded project with 13 partners from the Central Baltic Sea regions. One of main aims of BASAAR is to improve the capacity of Central Baltic regions to use cross-border cooperation as a way to adjust to globalisation.

The Central Baltic region is one of the leading regions in Europe with respect to innovation and technology. However, with the continued economic expansion in Asia, the competition is getting tougher. The long-term sustainability of the knowledge society in the Central Baltic region therefore depends on how well the region can adjust to the emerging world economic order.

In year 2009, after evaluating the level of globalization of the CBSR by collecting local, regional and cross-border benchmark data and feedbacks from stakeholders, BASAAR has developed the first set of draft scenarios for the relationship between Asia and the CBSR by 2050.

This set of scenarios will be further developed and will be used as a basis for developing a set of common actions for the CBSR. The BASAAR project will end in 2010 with a conference in which the project will present the scenarios and the proposed political agenda that partner region can undertake to strengthen the capacity to benefit from the on-going globalization and Asian growth.

Survey of Chinese investment flows to the Baltic Region

For more information contact: Resource Inventory

.....it became clear how much the different countries of the Baltic Sea region are already successful in promoting Chinese investments. Especially Sweden's investment promotion agency has already a long-term relationship with actors in China due to the early establishment of a representation office in Shanghai. Enterprise Estonia on the other hand does not even track investments from China, because of China's low importance as an investor country. Thus, there is much that still can be done regarding a common investment promotion of the Baltic region towards China.
