Newsletter 1/2008
CENTROPE is prospering. Last year, the economy of the CENTROPE countries grew almost twice as quickly as the EU-15 average. Forecasts claim that this trend will continue 2008. Cross-border economic activities, too, have increased markedly over recent years. According to current surveys, roughly one fourth of all enterprises in CENTROPE maintains business contacts with neighbouring countries. The magic formula for this success is “co-operation and networking”. Clusters are a promising instrument to focus and evolve existing assets of the region. This edition presents an overview of the multi-faceted cluster scene in the Central European Region, ranging from the booming automotive industry and renewable energies to furniture manufacturing and health tourism.
We wish you an interesting read and a happy new year 2008!
