Joint Economic Development with the City Group
The cities of Zittau (D), Bogatynia (PL) and Hrádek nad Nisou (CZ) have formed a cooperative structure, coming together in the one → City group
Joint economic development has been formulated as a main focus of the cooperation, along with other emphases such as culture, schools, and sports. The goal is to develop, use and market the location advantages of the three-country region together, namely:
- its central European location, with direct access to both Polish and Czech markets
- an economic environment with traditionally comparable industries and industrial structures; there is, for example, good bilateral experience in mechanical engineering as well as in the textile and plastic industries
- companies interested in settling here can benefit from existing cross-border contacts between local institutions and companies
- thanks to the academic coordination center of the University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz and the neighboring university institutions, contact to the science potential of Polish and Czech universities is also easily arranged
