Transportation & Logistics

A Competitive and Attractive
Place for Investment Transport connections play a key role in increasing the competitiveness of the region and attracting investor attention. The strategic geographic positioning of the region combined with the generally well developed transport infrastructure, low remuneration costs and a highly educated and bilingual workforce, continues to draw investments from outbound companies, especially in the manufacturing, IT, ICT and financial sectors. Efficient management of the supply chain plays a critical role in the economy and ensuring that goods or services are available at any time and at competitive prices is crucial to developing a successful business. With several of the regional countries boasting access to the Adriatic Sea and good road, highway, railway and airport infrastructure in place, South East Europe is a logical location for investors looking to cut costs and increase efficiency in their business.
