Economic Development and Employment. 2004/016-782-01.02: People to people The economic life and development of the Bulgarian – Greek trans-border region presents many differences in the quality of life, as witnessed at all levels of the economic life of the region. Considerable conflicts are present in the Bulgarian side primarily due to the acute socio-economic upheavals of the recent years, thus not allowing the local economy to mature and create those structures which are already operational on the Greek side. The economy of the Bulgarian region eligible under the Programme turns out 11.4% of the total GNP of the country. In the structure of the Gross Added Value the tertiary sector features the highest share (43.1%), followed by the primary sector (35.7%) and the secondary sector ranks at the last place (21.2%). All in all, the level of economic development, measured in terms of the indicator GDP/capita, is below the national average. In 1999 its value was BGN 2071, that is 75% of the national average and 29 % of the EU (25) average. The region is characterized by sharp contrasts in its economic development, ranging from agriculture and mono-structural industry to modern, services-oriented economy. Blagoevgrad and Haskovo stand out as the two extreme poles of development of the Bulgarian border region. The individual districts and municipalities manifest different capacity and rates of adapting to change. The differences in the development of the private sector reflect the impact of the crisis that transition to market-oriented economy has forced on local economies, the unequal opportunities for development in the private sector, and the limited initiatives taken by local businesses as well as the limited number of foreign investment projects in the region. The scheme intends to provide an indirect support to SMEs through improved business services, consultancy and information on the possibilities and potential opportunities for creating partnerships in the BG-GR border area. A direct support will address regional non- profit actors in overcoming the gap in research and development activities, in creating favourable conditions and institutional framework to support economic actors to develop cross-border relations. The aim is to encourage inter-company co-operation in the cross- border region, in order to enhance their competitiveness and productivity. Development of common projects will contribute to the creation of the joint economic space and will lead to synergies. By co-operating, co...

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 30 technical training events were offered in the first half of 2105. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 102 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
