1 Creating promotional Baltic Sea Region products for tourists, film talents and investors in the global markets

2 Pool of potentials Creating promotional Baltic Sea Region products for tourists, film talents and investors in the global markets is a project that enables collaborative promotion of the Baltic Sea Region (BSR) in global markets. We are building a transnational and multisectoral community of marketing professionals in order to attract more tourists, more film talents, and more investment into the region. The goal is to strengthen our common Baltic Sea Region identity and to provide marketing opportunities for BSR based companies both at home and abroad. Project has been created by cities and regional authorities around the Baltic Sea. Funding: European Union, Baltic Sea Region Programme Duration: Pilot Phase Extension Phase (Application in the 4th call planned) will involve more public and private players and will include additional promotional activities. Budget: 2.8 MEUR ( ) Stockholm St. Petersburg Oslo Malmö population 110 million GDP 400 billion Tallinn Riga Copenhagen Berlin Vilnius Warsaw Why? Helsinki BaltMet is us The Baltic Sea Region is a vibrant European market with total of 110 million consumers. BaltMet cities Berlin, Helsinki, Malmö, Oslo, Riga, Stockholm, St.Petersburg, Tallinn, Vilnius and Warsaw have a combined GDP of 400 billion Euros. The region is not yet well known in the global market as the marketing or branding of the region hasn t been developed in a structured and systematic way. s overall goal is to enhance the Baltic Sea Regions competitiveness potential and at the same time strengthen the common BSR identity both at home and abroad.

3 Process The project will develop new Baltic Sea Region products or service concepts and work as a common BSR-marketing platform. New products are created in a process of: demand and supply research marketing and communication implementation to the highest policy level as part of the European Union Strategy for Baltic Sea Region activities Baltic Development Forum Summits Policy Roundtables to facilitate a policy dialogue on regional identity building Business intelligence: Demand research analyzes existing demands of target markets and provides information on customers perceptions on BSR. Supply research gathers information on existing supply of specific products and services in the BSR. The gathered intelligence is passed on to pilot teams, which compile and create new matching product concepts. Demand research is carried out first and after it has been finished the supply research part starts. Marketing & communication: The launch of products is supported by marketing and communication. Through effective marketing communications promotional Products are launched to reach both operational and higher policy level. Implementation: New BSR services and products are designed so that they are transferable to other geographic and thematic areas. Better products, services and results promotes the Baltic Sea Region as a whole in global markets and strengthens our identity both at home and abroad by: collaboratively develop and implement BSR products and services collaborating with colleagues from across the BSR (best practices, experience, contacts and networks, less risk, shared aims) work with the best subject matter experts By creating a marketing community we aim to achieve: better results for individual place promotion activities for less money shared resources collaborative place promotion for a macro-region market. Regional identity building and branding mapping of branding initiatives and energizing policy dialogue about BSR branding issues coordinates horizontal activities related to regional identity building for EU Strategy for the Baltic Sea Region. New development ideas process facilitates new ideas to be tested in systematic way in regards of creating new BSR services and products.

4 Three concrete pilots builds three Baltic Sea Regional product concepts in the fields of tourism, film-making and investments. These three product concepts will be the model of further product development during the extension phase of the project. By bringing together both public and private sector players, the project pilots will highlight our strengths as a tourism, talent and investment destination. The development of concrete products will be based on solid market research and business intelligence. Tourism Pilot Live like locals travel package offers a new way to experience the Baltic Sea Region. Tourism Pilot will choose the travellers through a competition that will be organized in Japan in Target group of the competition is young ladies that have been writing blogs actively in Japan.

The winner will experience these three different city packages with a local view. There will also be an event organized in Japan that is targeted to tourism professionals where the travel package Live like locals is introduced to the travel trade.

5 Model for the Baltic Sea Strategy Investment Pilot The main aim of the Investment Pilot is to increase the awareness level of the BSR as a preferred investment area and thus attracting international investors and investment projects to the BSR. This will improve the competitiveness of the region and strengthen the position of the BSR in the international market. To spark investors interests in the region, participation in two leading trade fairs, the MIPIM in Cannes and Hannover Messe, is planned in An Investor s Guide is created and it will be presented at both trade fairs in connection with a BSR Investors Panel discussion.
