The Scandinavian-Mediterranean Corridor represents a crucial north-south axis for the European economy. The corridor extends from the North of Finland, Sweden, and Norway, through Denmark, Germany, and Austria to the Mediterranean coast of Southern Italy and further on by sea to Malta. Major ports and network nodes are Stockholm, Helsinki, Oslo, Gothenburg and Copenhagen in the North, Hamburg, Hannover, Berlin, Leipzig, Frankfurt am Main, Munich and Innsbruck in the centre and finally Verona, Bologna, Rome, Naples, La Spezia, Ancona, Livorno, Florence, Cagliari (Sardinia), Bari, Palermo (Sicily) as well as Valetta and Marsaxlokk (both Malta) in the southern part of the corridor. It comprises rail and road and European Maritime Space sections (e.g. Lübeck/Rostock to Scandinavia or southern Italy/Sicily to Malta) sections as well as 21 airports, 33 ports, 29 rail-road-terminals and 74 urban nodes. The key infrastructure projects on this corridor are the Fehmarnbelt fixed link and the Brenner base tunnel.
