Transportation and logistics employ nearly 46 000 people in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, 20 000 for logistics alone. In Denmark, there are nearly 50 000 people employed in the logistics sector in more than 7000 companies. About 1.5 million trucks cross the border every year in Padborg, and we estimate that 75% of Danish exports and 60% of German imports pass through the Jutland route.
The CB-Log project aims to develop the logistics expertise of Schleswig-Syddanmark to establish a cross-border cluster for logistics industry, training and knowledge. It is part of the flagship projects for the development of the Syddanmark-Schleswig region, defined in the partnership agreement signed by Schleswig-Holstein and Syddanmark on June 27, 2007.
