The NSPA network represents close collaboration between the four northernmost counties of Sweden (Norrbotten, Västerbotten, Jämtland, and Västernorrland), the seven northernmost and eastern regions of Finland (Lapland, Northern Ostrobothnia, Central Ostrobothnia, Kainuu, North Karelia, Pohjois-Savo and Etelä-Savo) and North Norway (Finnmark, Troms and Nordland).
These 14 regions from three countries share common circumstances and objectives, and are working together to raise awareness of the NSPA in the EU institutions, to influence EU policy and to provide a platform for best practice.
