Context
The organizers are committed to the future MultiRegio project which is aimed at developing a multiregional service platform for the investment, competitiveness and employment. The emerging Euroregions, encompassing Andaluzia, Alentejo, Extremadura and Algarve, both in Spain and Portugal, are MultiRegio’s geographical scope.
The Rzeszów Aviation Valley provides a paradigmatic case study on aeronautic industries’ role as a catalyst for science, technology, innovation and regional development. In Sevilla a renowned aerospace cluster plays a growingly notorious role in the European aeronautics context. In Beja, a new international Airport is located in a region likely to bloom next years as a unique combination of new
regional assets enables a lively business environment.
The new 2014-2020 period calls for more intense transregional cooperation, enhanced planning and improved investment efficiency. This Networking Meeting enables mutual learning and joint vision sharing in a timing when the need of detailed planning is crucial.
The three regions are members of Difass InterregIVc, where their commitment to entrepreneurship and economic growth is shared with more 21 European regions.
