Description of the Workshop
Cross-border territories have potential to implement investments under the umbrella of the European Investment Plan, supported by the European Investment Bank and national promotional banks.
What kind of investment projects can emerge from cross-border cooperation? How can the Juncker Plan, European and national investment policies together with private sector fund them ? Which tools and which governance models can be used?
This workshop will examine examples of investment projects (transport, territorial development), specific tools (investment advisory hubs) and the governance structures (including the EGTC) that could be used for cross-border projects.
Target audience:
- EU, national, regional and local policy/decision makers
- Authorities managing and evaluating cohesion policy programmes and projects
- Other stakeholders: private companies, financial institutions, European and national associations
- Academics, students and researchers
