“The project promotes the region of Abruzzo’s attraction potential by encouraging investments in the territory and contributing to the reinforcement of Abruzzo’s identity not only in Europe, but also as a competitive player on the world stage,” says Valentina Bianchi, Councillor for productive activities and innovation of the region of Abruzzo. The region offers highly profitable investment opportunities in a unique, natural setting and has a good infrastructure. Railways and highways connect the region to major Italian cities; the Pescara airport offers connections with key international destinations. Along the coast, three commercial ports attest to Abruzzo’s position as a strategic location for the distribution of goods to eastern European countries.
The region’s productive system reflects a dynamic situation, as testified to by the most recent data from the registry offices of the chambers of commerce of Abruzzo, which reveal continued growth for the region’s enterprise base. Investment opportunities are represented by twenty-four “Relocation Packages”. The electronics industry will certainly be attracted by the prospects offered in the province of L’Aquila where a variety of companies have set up business, including Micron, specialising in semiconductor manufacturing, and Telespazio, a leader in the field of satellite telecommunications, with its factory located in Avezzano.
