Four Motors for Europe for the Economic growth in Europe

Dear visitor,

We are pleased to welcome you to the website of the Four Motors for Europe, an association of inter-regional cooperation made up of the territories of Baden-Württemberg, Catalonia, Lombardy and Rhône-Alpes, which works to enhance their economic, scientific social and cultural potential.

This co-operation was established in 1988 and its main goal is to participate actively in decision-making at a European level in order to contribute to the building of a Europe that is closer to its citizens, a Europe where regions have a highly important role to play.

The Catalan presidency priorities for 2010 and 2011 are augmenting co-operation in economic matters to foster the process of economic recovery of the Four Motors associates and of Europe as a whole, boosting the network's role as a lobby within the framework of the EU and promoting its internationalisation, as well as working jointly on some relevant fields such as economy, environment, culture and education.

The Four Motors for Europe are willing to position themselves both at a European level and globally and foster its value added as a network through innovative and key projects such as the support for innovation, the co-operation with the Four Motors for Mercosur or the institutional and economic mission outside Europe.

In this wesite, you will get to learn more deeply about the Four Motors for Europe, from its history and how it works to its current projects. It also covers a wide range of documents which will show you our dynamic co-operation. We hope you enjoy it.
