The archipelago of the west coast of Sweden

Thematic projects

• Local production and refining of foodstuffs
• Development of places of work with the help of IT-technique
• Culture tourism

The first project contains one green and one blue part . The green part will work to enhance the local cultivation, refinement and distribution of vegetables, fruits and meat. The blue part is aiming at building a local market for different fish and shellfish produce. In the green project we will look at how local producers and local retailers are able to cooperate to become stronger. In the blue project we want to show how a large scale kitchen affiliated to the fishauction may increase the sale of locally caught fish and shellfish.

The idea and aim of the IT- technique project is to use the relative large need in the urbanised archipelago around Göteborg, for creating service companies. This may be done, in collaboration with Telia (Swedish governements telephone company) with rather cheap technique thanks to the short distance to the large urban centre.

The third thematic project - Culture tourism - is aiming at developing the genuine and characteristic archipelagic tourism and to stimulate the activity and employment within this sector. Specific interesting areas to work with are building tehcniques and traditions, coastal fish settlements, lighthouses, arts and crafts and the farming landscape influenced by the maritime climate.

The Leader program contains three main areas in which work is planned. Here we will try to give a short presentation on these main areas:
