Life is a highway
The Green Highway is a green corridor between the Gulf of Bothnia and the Norwegian sea. Along it you find the infrastructure to recharge you electric car, or fill up your tank with biofuel.

Green Highway is a venture to create a green transport axis along a renewable energy belt, including investments in electric vehicles, charging infrastructure, renewable fuels, testing and development, as well as building up and spreading knowledge of this.
The concept
- Green Highway: Environmentally friendly development, innovation and tourism along a green axis between the Gulf of Bothnia and the Norwegian Sea.
- Extensive development and implementation of environmentally friendly transport systems and solutions based on renewable energy from water, wind and biofuels in collaboration between public and private participants.
- The great values of the scenic nature of the Green Highway-region gets a user friendly and sustainable packaging, also stimulating international tourism.
- Considerable R&D (research and development) activities, industrial establishments and development of technology in the region connected to transport systems and energy production.
- Green Highway creates changes others only talk about; through the SØT-collaboration, political commitment, extensive cooperation between public and private partners, and practical ability to take action.
- A list of 100 points has been compiled, showing the process that is going on and the concrete initiatives and measures that have been carried out, are in progress, and are planned.
