The most prestigious project of our times – the European Union Strategy for the Danube Region – enjoyed from its beginning the involvement of all stakeholders in elaborating the vision for a more prosperous and dynamic region. The most efficient approach to benefit of the potential of the Danube Region is to combine the present forms of institutional co-operations with partnerships with local communities. We do require a private-public partnership with the civil society. Furthermore, we are ready to develop concrete projects focusing on concrete targets such as: to double the volume of goods transported on the Danube River within a 10 years frame, update road infrastructure and intermodal transport system, improve navigation, develop economic relations and promote integrated sectorial development. Together we decided to pay more attention to eco-systems and natural habitats and to offer to the 100 million people from the Danube basin the pride of belonging to this region.

The Danube Alliance – Paving the Road to the Knowledge SocietyThe value-added chain of products, processes and services usually starts with generation of knowledge. From this knowledge potential emerge business ideas and the resulting products could lead to economical success, to innovation as it were. Due to utilization of converging technologies and due to permanent expanding markets enterprises can only cope successfully with the economical challenges by contracting strategic partnerships, like co-operations, networks or clusters, to realize their commercial interests. In this process the parties have to define distinct objectives and have to make sure of the adherence of moral standards.
The Danube Strategy established by the European Union is using this promising knowledge in economy to enhance the importance of the Danube region. The attractiveness lies in the free arrangement of projects with partners from economy, science and culture. The participating neighboring countries could stronger link their cross-border economical, scientific, cultural and social potential to take advantage of added value for lasting enhancement of their quality of live.
