Green Corridors – an initiative from the European Commission

Green corridors - logotype

Developing sustainable transport corridors will increase competitiveness and contribute to a sustainable Europe. These transportation passages and projects are called Green Corridors.

The Swedish government assignment Green Corridors was formed in 2010. It is jointly run by Trafikverket (the Swedish Transport Administration), Sjöfartsverket (the Swedish Maritime Administration) and VINNOVA (the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems).

The idea behind the Swedish work is:

  • to demonstrate efficient transport solutions
  • support research and innovation to further strengthen the Green Corridors, in terms of infrastructure, technology, business models and institutional issues
  • to promote the development of Green Corridors in EU transport policy and
  • to establish international partnerships that can lead to Green Corridors to and from the Nordic region.
