Target Analysis "Territorial Scenarios for the Baltic Sea Region" (BT2050)
BT2050 stands for Territorial Scenarios for the Baltic Sea Region. With the aim of informing policy making at different levels, this project develops territorial scenarios for the Baltic Sea Region – BSR. The scenarios will deepen the understanding on the territorial dimensions of the EU Strategy for the BSR as well as contribute to European and Member States policy making. They will also serve as a base to explore and foster cooperation between BSR countries on territorial development contributing towards the objectives of the BSR' spatial policy.

ESPON 2020 Global FDI flows towards Europe
Foreign direct investment (FDI) flows are an important source of investment at EU level and in many member states. More regionalised information is needed to understand recent trends and the territorial factors that determine location of FDIs in order to develop specific territorial policy measures for cities and regions in Europe. The overall objective of the project is to provide tailor-made recommendations to support regions and cities in their positioning and defining of policies towards receiving FDI, as well as integrating the attraction of foreign firms into regional development strategies. In this perspective, this project introduces an approach for centralised/decentralised systems for relevant decision making. Find out more about ESPON 2020 project.
