Creating the future (in 2 minutes)

At the North Sea Conference last month, participants learned about megatrends in relation to the post-2027 Cohesion Policy. Development traps, just transitions, new technology such as AI and blockchain, and citizen engagement are some of the key aspects. So, does the North Sea Programme 2021-2027 step up to these challenges?

The answer is a resounding yes. We deliver solutions that are in high demand, from green transitions involving citizens to rural-urban connections, using smart technologies and innovative approaches. And we create the future by means of the greatest superpower of all: Working together across borders.

In the video below, our Head of Secretariat Christian Byrith and European Commission Desk Officer Miguel Avila explain the cornerstones of our programme in less than 2 minutes.
