The FIPA Director, Jelica Grujic, participated at the First CEO Meeting of IPAs from Eastern Europe which was held on 19th May 2011 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
On this occasion, it was pointed out the importance of presenting the competitive advantages of the Region and within WAIPA it will be taken concrete steps for joint activities of the Region promotion as an interesting destination for foreign investments.
It should be mentioned that the markets of neighbouring countries are not attractive for multinational companies. Those markets don’t provide possibilities for locating major production facilities that would have a regional or wider dimension and for this reason, it is going to promote the entire Region.
Bringing offers and potentials and presenting the Region as an entire, could help in increasing its attractiveness. In addition, on this way, it sends message on political stability of the Region, on absence of administrative barriers and on mobility of ideas and capital.
