Euregio
On May 3, 2012, the presidents of the province of Tyrol (Austria), and the Autonomous provinces of Alto Adige-Southtyrol and Trentino (Italy) signed a
protocol in which they agreed that green building is an issue of
primary importance for future cross-border collaboration between these
three provinces. The goal of the accord is to create a virtual
meta-cluster in support of green building that will make this Euregio of the "Europe of Regions" the European reference point for the sector.
Starting from the strong and innovative capabilities existing in the
area, the idea is to develop concrete collaboration between companies,
research centers and certification laboratories in order to integrate
knowledge and competences. These activities will make the entire area
more competitive, while still allowing the three cluster systems to
maintain distinct identities and autonomy.
Further ideas for collaboration include industrial and scientific
research, marketing through an “umbrella” brand, and eventually joint
certification lab.
The concepts under consideration concern scientific and applied
research, certification and test laboratories, as well as product
marketing through an unified umbrella brand. An informational workshop
held at Progetto Manifattura the day following the signing of the accord
provided an first opportunity for institutional and economic
stakeholders to get acquainted and identify concepts and methods to
explore, meetings in Bozen (Alto Adige-Southtyrol) and Innsbruck (Tyrol, Austria) followed.
