Fresh report: “The Food Industry of the Baltic Sea Region”
The baltfood project provides a platform for the food industry of the BSR (Baltic Sea Region). This is an analysis of the potential of the BSR food cluster, focusing on the identification of regional concentrations of interconnected companies and institutions in the food industry incl. sub branches of the food industry and how they relate to each other.
Based on employment data and company data the food cluster dynamics for each participating region will be analysed. The main focus is on observed statistical agglomerations and how the sum of the BSR regions in the food industry looks like. This analysis will show the current economic strengths and future developments of the sector.
In order to achieve the best possible mapping of clusters in the region a twofold approach was chosen. First, we looked at the BSR from a macroeconomic angle with statistical aggregations, and second, we examined a micro economic view with aggregations of single companies. These two view points led to a diversified view on the food industry in the BSR, always remembering the limits of each analytical approach.
