Project description
The LEAD EXPORT project focuses on enhancing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises by improving exports and developing export-related skills of local companies.
The main goal is to increase the sales of their products and services on international markets, which is a key factor for regional economic development.
Export is a significant issue for European regions for various economic and strategic reasons.
According to Eurostat data, the export of goods and services constitutes a large portion of the GDP of many EU member states.
The EU aims to harmonize development levels across its member states, thus fostering economic balance.
The European Union has one of the world’s largest networks of trade agreements, which significantly contribute to regional economies by reducing trade barriers and opening new markets.
Through this project, a contribution will be made to the EU Cohesion Policy by reducing development disparities between regions and promoting economic convergence.
By implementing the project, the areas in which specific regions already specialize will be further strengthened.
Project objective
The project aims to improve policy instruments related to increasing the number of local companies and enhancing export support mechanisms in the regions of Denmark, Italy, Greece, Poland, Hungary, Croatia, Ukraine, and Serbia.

Project title
Roman Legacy
Project’s objectives
The joint project is focused on the presentation and promotion of the Roman Danube Limes as part of the shared European cultural heritage. Following a unified concept along its entire course, the project brings to life the story of the people who lived in the Danube region more than 2,000 years ago.
The current initiative aims to establish a Cultural Route within a broader Thematic Region, which, if needed, can be extended or deepened to include the wider hinterland that played a significant role in the Roman legacy. Particular emphasis will be placed on the joint interpretation and presentation of this heritage across the entire Danube region, along with the development of a common branding strategy to strengthen the coherence and visibility of this shared legacy.
The overarching goal of the project is to create a Cultural Route along the Danube within a larger thematic framework and to submit it for certification in order to become part of the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe.
Value of the project
2.948.845,94 euros out of which the contribution of Interreg Danube Region funds is 2.359.076,73 euro.
