Science and technology park co-operation in EU-Future Region
TECPARKNET is a network consisting of regions in Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary. The expected effects of the establishment of the network address the transnational approach, equal opportunities, environmental issues, employment and economic sectors and spatial development. The aim is to achieve improved competitiveness and a better economic situation for the regions involved. In order to achieve this, co-operation efforts combining economic, scientific and technology resources, comparative strengths and infrastructure have been established. They focus on innovative small- and medium-sized companies, clusters and also aim at promoting new businesses. The exchange of knowledge, competent partners and specialised infrastructure will facilitate integration of the regional economies on a higher level. The companies are at different stage in terms of economic and technology infrastructure but still there is a lot of potential for co-operation.
