Automotive Regions: Present and Future, Final Report of the Network

Abstract

Automotive Regions - Present and Future has been produced to provide an insight into the work carried out by the Network of Automotive Regions, a project part funded by Interreg IIIC European Funding. There are 16 partners in this network from regions in Belgium, The Netherlands, UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. By its very nature this report has had to be just an introduction and summary. The work presented here is the culmination of the research and deliberation of a benchmarking exercise to identify good practice in partner regions plus the work of the contributing thematic work groups that have been set up to investigate the implications of the supply chain; process innovation; intelligence on policy and diversification; and labour market issues and training.
