  13. Lessons learned Regional Level An institution or quasi-institution (e.g. Chamber of commerce) can be the “pivot” to put together a public-private network, pooling some reliable and tested tools, without starting from scratch every time.

  14. Lessons learned Transferability Such a methodology can be sharedacross regions and can contribute to build up a solid knowledge base on business transfer throughout Europe.
