Asian countries connectivity improvement. According to some
estimations 278% is the expected growth of direct
traffic flow between Europe and Asia in the next 5
years. The aim of the project is to enable and to co-
finance the construction of the submarine high
speed cable connection through Northeast passage
between Asia and Europe as a joint venture with EU
and interested Artic and Asian countries. When
connected to the Baltic Sea Cable, which is at the
moment under construction, the cables would
provide the most direct and fastest high capacity link
from Europe to Asia. This would provide a
remarkable boost to the data intensive industry
which is emerging together with the development of
industrial internet and wider use of big data.
