Timely investments needed at Malmbanan
The need for railway investments in northern Sweden was discussed at a breakfast seminar
ARCTIC RAIL – A CROSS-BORDER COLLABORATION
Although a remote part of Europe, the Northern calotte has an important role for national and international transport of goods, people, and defense materials. A strenghtened reliability on the railway connections between the northern parts of Norway, Sweden, and Finland (Narvik to Luleå to Tornio) - TEN-T - is therefore key. Arctic Rail works for a fruitful collaboration between society and industry, to ensure a well functioning rail infrastructure across borders.
Advancing railway solutions for a sustainable future
Welcome to Arctic Rail! We are a trilateral economic association, dedicated to advance and develop the railway infrastructure in the Northern Calotte region. Through membership in our community, companies and organizations are gaining access to strategic opportunities, cross-border collaborations, and a platform to influence policy decisions that shape the future of rail transport in Northern Europe.
ABOUT ARCTIC RAIL
The pursuit of a connected region
We are a cross-border collaborative organization focused on the railway systems in the northernmost regions of Norway, Sweden, and Finland.
Who we are
Our members are dependent on investments in railway and logistics for industry and infrastructure development.
Financing
We are primarily funded through partnership and membership fees. Additionally, we seek public funding from EU, regional and national sources for future strategic projects.
AGENDA
Our goal
The reliability of the railway network in the Arctic region is a key factor. Not only for the people living in the area and for the heavy industry that forms a crucial part of Nordic exports, but also for the success of the green transition in the Nordics and Europe, for critical material flows and passenger transport, as well as for attracting key competencies. Arctic Rail was formed in order to address these issues.
