| Description |
This
congress, organized by INTA, is a valuable opportunity to
further identify the most effective policy strategies for
supporting competitiveness in metropolitan and regional
areas and to address the challenges confronted by local
authorities to develop their knowledge-based economy and
social conditions to create or maintain their world position.
The Congress is organized into several sessions, each with
an expert presentation followed by a panel discussion. Panel
discussants will include national and local government representatives,
mayors and practitioners. A special session will highlight
the Tangier-Tetuan case study, leveraging globalisation
through a trans-regional strategy.Competitiveness is about
the capacity of territories to contribute to the creation
of economical activities, and to attract people and capital
in a competitive environment. If territories are more concerned
with competition than National States they do not possess
so numerous and effective instruments and their adjustment
capacity to face the structural shocks is weaker. The strategic
management of the territories concerns just as well their
quality of collective governance, their capacity to formulate
appropriate competitive strategies as well as their ability
to offer innovative services to their populations and economic
partners.Registration before the 1st of July means a 10%
reduction on the regsitration fee. Registration form, practical
information and an updated programme for this congress is
available on INTA’s website:http://www.inta-net.org
