CENTRAL MARKETS PROJECT – CENTRAL EUROPE PROGRAMME
REVITALISING AND PROMOTING TRADITIONAL MARKETS IN CENTRAL EUROPE
FINAL CONFERENCE – November, 11th 2014
Stará tržnica - Old market Hall,
Námestie SNP 25 Bratislava, Slovakia
This project is implemented through the CENTRAL EUROPE Programme co-financed by the ERDF | www.centralmarkets.eu
The CENTRAL MARKETS Project started its activities in 2012 with the aim of
developing and implementing effective strategies for the revitalisation and
promotion of traditional markets, which are highly considered for their economic,
social and cultural role in the territories concerned.
Building on the shared assumption that markets remain fundamental places of
economic animation, source of employment and integration, the CENTRAL
MARKETS partnership collaborate in order to improve market governance and
related services, adopt efficient communication strategies for markets and develop
innovative concepts for the investment in market infrastructures in urban and periurban areas.
The Final Conference will illustrate the results achieved by the project:
• Shared knowledge on Central Europe Markets
• Raised awareness on the existing gaps in the integration of trade services
and retail framework policies
• Effective cooperation among relevant stakeholders for the implementation
of local pilot activities
• Strengthened market governance in urban and regional areas involved
• Consolidated network of partner cities and regions benefiting from mutual
learning
• Enhancement of political commitment for effective market revitalisation in
Central Europe
Moreover, this transnational event will benefit from the presence of several
speakers from European cities and market networks who will bring their experiences
and inputs to launch innovative actions for the enhancement of retail markets and
the support to growth and jobs in Europe in the framework of the 2014-2020
