"We keep trying to strengthen
Friuli Venezia Giulia's presence in Central and Southern Europe,
a context that we consider highly strategic for our region and
Italy. A partnership with the Czech Republic can open the door
to many joint projects in different areas, such as research on
new technologies, production activities, and the Hydrogen Valley
project." FVG Governor Massimiliano Fedriga thus spoke at the
meeting with the delegation from the Vysocina Region of the
Czech Republic, led by President Vítezslav Schrek, and also
attended by Councillors Sergio Emidio Bini (Productive
Activities and Tourism), Riccardo Riccardi (Health and Social
Policies), Pierpaolo Roberti (Local Autonomies) and Alessia
Rosolen (Labor, Education and Training). Fedriga emphasized that
international collaborations, acting as a driving force for the
economy and providing more opportunities for citizens and
businesses, are " crucial for strengthening the closeness
between European territories, especially at a historical moment
of strong global tensions."
Councillor Bini, highlighting the significant increase in the
tourist flow to FVG from the Czech Republic in the post-Covid
years, hoped for the possibility of dialogue, with the
involvement of PromoTurismoFVG and its counterpart structure in
Vysocina, to assess the development of targeted projects for
both. A similar reflection also applies to the industrial
sector, where, according to Bini, "there can be assumptions of
collaboration starting from small projects, also based on
virtuous examples such as our local economic development
consortiums."
Councillor Riccardi shared with President Schrek the
opportunity to cooperate in the health sector to meet citizens'
health needs, taking into account the aging of the population.
According to Councillor Roberti, FVG and Vysocina are
administratively similar due to the density of municipalities in
a small area. "In consideration of this," Roberti remarked, "the
development of joint projects could be based on the close
relationship between the two regions and their respective
municipalities. Councillor Rosolen argued how the presence of 40
international bodies of research in FVG allows the Region to "
put in place development projects that can also become strategic
for its international partners."
