Interreg Baltic Sea region 2021 – 2027
Priority 1:
Innovative societies
Programme objective 1.1
Resilient economies and communities
Resilience is understood as the ability to respond to external disturbances such as severe recessions and financial crises, downturns of particular industries or major health crises. The Programme encourages actions that help to avoid unwanted external impacts, withstand them or recover quickly from them.
Programme Objective 1.2
Responsive public services
In relation to a growing complexity of societal challenges, the Programme supports actions that improve organisational set-ups and processes to respond to public needs and to deliver less bureaucratic and more cost-efficient public services.

From achievements to ambitions: shaping the future Interreg Baltic Sea Region
While the current Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme is delivering results across the region, preparations for the next Programme are already gaining momentum. This dual focus was at the heart of the Monitoring Committee meeting held in Berlin on 9–10 June 2026.
High five: new project platforms onboard!
Five strong transnational partnerships, five strategic topics addressed, and endless opportunities to showcase the power of Interreg: the new project platforms, designated as Operations of Strategic Importance, met for their kick-off meeting in Berlin on 9 June.
Designing the future Programme, together with cities and regions!
Tallinn, 11 May, may have appeared in many calendars simply as “BSSSC Day of Regions and Cities”. In reality, the day marked an important moment in shaping the future of the Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme. What made it special? Cities and regions took centre stage!
