8. Conclusions
Local and private spontaneous initiatives are important – but perhaps not represented by Governments and Regions
Private sector players are important
Orientation in the “planning vs market grid” is vital
Formal and informal frameworks govern our actions

9. What to do?
A good overview and current information of initiatives taken by different actors in relation to the corridors
Simple contacting point arrangements
Involve and invite representatives of spontaneous cooperation initiatives
Avoid beeing too formalistic – one size might not fit all
