Oresund Event Centre will be the first of it's kind - not only in Scandinavia but in the world. A cross country and regional centre focusing on sustainable growth through events in the whole Oresund region. Oresund Event Centre supports existing regional and municipal event organisations in both Sweden and Denmark. The aim of the centre is to professionalize the cross regional cooperation through skill enhancement, event development and knowledge sharing.
- Skill enhancement: Workshops, master classes, education, study trips, conferences, knowledge sharing and networking.
- Event development: Supporting bidding on international sport and culture events (on off), national and international events (returning) and developing new cross regional events through research, analysis and development resources. Focus will be on cross regional and international potential.
- Knowledge sharing: Web, social media and papers. The centre will provide its partners with knowledge and trends within the event business and science.
Oresund Event Centre gathers for the first time the main players in the regional event industry in one network. This will make the whole region more competitive and more attractive for international event organizers, tourists and talents. This again will have positive impact on innovation, turnover, jobs and the regions national and international branding.
