SummaryThe ADC project is an excellent example of mobilising public support for entrepreneurial cooperation in the strategic productive sectors of South East Europe. ADC objective is to go beyond the existing similar productive specialisation among companies in the Adriatic–Danubian area and to strengthen the territorial marketing of the Adriatic – Danubian compound in the global economy by realizing more of its productive skills through the establishment of sectoral cluster networks, suitable to enhance the effective integration of the more competitive transnational value chains and to reduce regional disparities, also by fostering the attractiveness of the area for FDI.
