What is Centrope?
The four neighbouring countries of the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Austria comprise a culturally and economically diverse region with six million inhabitants. The political entity representing this central European region – CENTROPE (link: www.centrope.info ) – was established in September 2003 at a political conference in the Kittsee Palace in Eastern Austria.
The four-country CENTROPE region serves as an important bridge between economic hubs in the west of Europe and the briskly growing markets in the eastern part of the continent. The massive investments of the automotive industry as well as the numerous headquarters of international corporations that have settled in CENTROPE are evidence of the advantages offered by this easily accessible region at the interface between old and new EU member states.
CENTROPE is prospering. Last year, the economy of the CENTROPE countries grew almost twice as quickly as the EU-15 average. According to forecasts, this trend will continue through 2008. Cross-border economic activities have also increased markedly in recent years. Roughly one fourth of all enterprises in CENTROPE maintain business contacts with neighboring countries.
