This report presents replicable know-how about development opportunities and profits related to the implementation of the core network corridors. It offers guidance to European Coordinators, public authorities, infrastructure managers and investors – irrespective of the geographical location – on how to adjust policy actions, governance response and business strategies to fully maximise the benefits and mitigate threats induced related to the investment along the corridors. Intergovernmental networks and the Coordination Group of the EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region Policy Area Transport shall also find this report useful in promoting the successes of the implementation of core network corridors.

This guidance paper is dedicated to exploring the Fehmarnbelt Fixed link, which is a planned tunnel connection for road and rail transport between Rødby on Lolland (Denmark) and Puttgarden on Fehmarn (Germany), and an important part of ScandinavianMediterranean (Scan-Med) TEN-T core network corridor. The paper includes a detailed impact analysis of the new connection and is a useful tool for planners from national and regional public authorities and businesses especially in Denmark, Germany and Sweden, for developing strategies that would help maximise the benefits from the new connection.
