Warmia-Mazuria, Poland

Warmia-Mazuria is located in the north-eastern portion of Poland with access to the Baltic Sea. The voivodship borders the Kaliningrad District of the Russian Federation. It has many favourable natural conditions such as the Masurian Lake District and supports the development of tourism, agro tourism as well as so-called “clean” industry. Warmia-Mazuria has a strong labour force potential, though industry is currently not very developed and is based on the processing of local agricultural, forest and mineral raw materials.

Province of Pomerania, Poland

Pomorskie Voivodeship (Province of Pomerania) is located in the northern part of Poland with broad access to the Baltic Sea. In the region there is Tricity, an urban complex consisting of three cities: Gdańsk-Sopot-Gdynia. The region is a land of unusually varied natural conditions: with a lot of forests, many lakes and an interesting landscape. The main business activities in the area are connected with the sea and sea transport, tourism and fishery related services, as well as the services beyond the region: research and science, education, medical care, culture and media.

Lombardy, Italy

Lombardy is the first region in Italy to produce about 20 % of the gross national product. Industry includes amongst others building, aeronautics, design, textile, furniture and fashion. Lombardy is the major Italian financial centre. The Northern State is the region with the highest number of universities and totals the highest expenditure in scientific research in Italy.

Piedmont, Italy

Piedmont is a cross-border Alpine Region with roman and baroque heritage. Prestigious vineyards belong to the agro-food industry amongst others like gardening, livestock and orchards. Biotechnology, light industry, machinery and telecommunications are other industrial sectors of activity. Torino was the venue of the Olympic winter games in 2006.

Bulgaria

Bulgaria sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, right in the belly of the Balkans. The country presents an amazing variety of landforms: from the banks of the Danube, a windswept plain slopes up to the rounded summits of the Stara Planina. This east-west range runs right across the northern half of the country from the Black Sea to Serbia. Southern Bulgaria is even more mountainous. The major industries are food processing, machine and metal building, electronics, chemicals, textiles, ferrous and nonferrous metals.
