Overview: For a region to be economically active and internationally competitive, its firms, institutions and people would have to make connections and alliances with partners abroad. Rapid technological change, extended markets and a greater demand for knowledge are offering new opportunities for regional development. Globalisation is increasingly testing the ability of sub-national economic areas to adapt in order to maintain their competitive edge.
