CROSSCONNECT Project Kicks Off: Advancing Adriatic connectivity through sustainable multimodal solutions
CROSSCONNECT
CROSSCONNECT, the "Cross-border Coordinated Sea-Land Approach Interconnecting Ports of the Adriatic Sea with Airports and Urban Areas," is financed by the Interreg Italy-Croatia Programme, specifically under Standard call, Specific objective 3.1. This objective focuses on developing and enhancing sustainable, climate-resilient, intelligent, and intermodal mobility, including improved access to TEN-T and cross-border mobility.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
