The Northern Sparsely Populated Areas (NSPA) network cordially invites you to the OPEN DAYS workshop:
Northern Sparsely Populated Areas - Strong, Specific and Promising
Tuesday 5 October 2010
| 14:30-16:30
East Finland EU Office, Rond Point Schuman 6, 1040 Brussels (8th floor)
Code: 05A25
The Northern Sparsely Populated Areas in Finland, Sweden and Norway are strong, specific and promising according to a foresight study published in 2009. The NSPA workshop will further clarify the contributing factors behind the big words. Why are the regions strong? What makes them specific? How can it be argued that the area is promising? Prominent speakers from the business community in the NSPA share their insight on what makes the NSPA tick and why the area will be the one to watch in the future.
We hope you would like to participate in this event and learn more how the experience and resources from the North can contribute to a prosperous and sustainable Europe.
