Alpine – Carpathian Forum of Cooperation – Rzeszow, 14-16th September 2012

From 14th till 16th of September 2012 the city of Rzeszów – the capital of innovation – is going to host a new international event under the name “Alpine – Carpathian Forum of Cooperation”. The event, which is organized by the Association of the Carpathian Euroregion Poland, will inaugurate cooperation between Podkarpackie and Switzerland as well as other Alpine countries.
The “Alpine – Carpathian Forum of Cooperation” is a new fair and conference event which is organized in the Rzeszów Regional Sport and Exhibition Centre “Podpromie” on the days of 14th – 16th September 2012. It is organized under the project “Alpine – Carpathian Cooperation Bridge” supported by a grant from Switzerland through the Swiss Contribution to the enlarged European Union.
The aim of this international event is to promote cooperation between Carpathian and Alpine nations, mainly between Podkarpacie and Switzerland – the European areas which are, on the one hand, different in level of development, but on the other hand similar when it comes to their potential. The Forum will bring closer environmental, tourism and economic advantages as well as cultural heritage of Switzerland and other Alpine states and will promote the wealth and potential of the Podkarpackie Voivodeship as well as other regions which are parts of the Carpathian Euroregion and also Poland.
Among exhibitors there will be innovative companies, organizations and institutions presenting their values and also investment opportunities of the regions, tourism attractions as well as local producers and manufacturers who will show with pride their handicrafts and traditional, local or regional delicacies. Two opposite poles will meet together: modernity and tradition, that will be accompanied by regions promotion. The fair will be accompanied by panel discussions, debates, numerous presentations and exhibitions which will favour business contacts establishment, experience and good practices exchange. The “Alpine – Carpathian Forum of Cooperation” will be a unique occasion to present and promote, on international stage, both innovative and regional companies and will inaugurate their cooperation with highly developed countries of the Western Europe.
