Cooperation results
- Exchanges of experiences to overcome local
weaknesses
- Pilot projects to test different innovative
solution for similar problem
- Best practises/management problems to use
to improve public and private services
Conclusions
… so at the end of the project we can say, to overcome
desertification of mountain/rural areas we need:
- innovative systems and technologies to manage
public and private services. Different models from urban
areas. Different socio-economic situations - different
solutions. Equal opportunities.
- private or public networks and chains (long or short)
to manage services and to support inhabitants and
enterprises
- public-private partnerships to plan and to support
socio-economic development
… Conclusions
… we need also to discuss each others together
with similar/complementary reality, to build a real
mountain strategy and planning with bottom
up approach.
… we need to exchange experiences with the
other interreg project (a,b and c), but also with
Leader projects, which work in similar situation
… we think this Summit is a real important event
to build new project and to create new
opportunities for mountain areas starting from
interreg 3b Alpine Space experiences.
Thank you for your attention 
