- Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to gain knowledge and visualize significant issues that a future leadership of the Øresund Region should take into consideration in order to promote regional development.

The bridge’s explicit purpose was not only to physically connect Denmark and Sweden but also to support the development of the cross‐border region, the Øresund Region. The Øresund Region contains many knowledge intense organizations, entities and inhabitants holding a lot of knowledge. Today these actors work in different directions without any coordination, a leadership might be needed. Methodology: We have used an inductive approach aiming to draw conclusions from empirical information. Through empirical studies, and acknowledged theories, we have tried to visualize
and present the potential and future leadership of Øresund Region. Theoretical Perspective: There is much written on the areas of leadership and regional development. According to this our theoretical perspective has it starting point in four different areas: Leadership, Regional Growth, Regional Integration and Knowledge Creation. Empirical Information: The empirical information in this thesis consists of quotations and comments from leaders in different sectors that work with, and or within the Øresund Region. Leaders have been interviewed using a semi‐structured interview technique. Conclusion: We have through our empirical studies and theoretical framework identified some critical issues that a future leadership of the Øresund Region should focus on. The main focus should be on: over bridging national barriers, create a political priority on a national level, create and communicate shared regional visions, open communication, create an Øresund identity and to find glocal heroes.
