Pilot Action N.1

Name
Innovative strategy for sustainable development

Location
Municipality of Idrija

Objective
Preparation of the innovative strategy

Description:
Municipality of Idrija has a successful manufacturing sector, but on the other side lacks jobs in other economic sectors. For this reason we will prepare a strategy of sustainable development of the municipality to define future strategic objectives of the municipality. We will link it to the protocols of Alpine convention and thus also provide Idrija with the required development strategy for the Alpine town of the year project.

Promotion activities and material for the »Alpine town of the year«

Location
Municipality of Idrija

Objective
Elaboration of promotional material and promotion of Idrija

Description
Idrija is a unique site of technical heritage based on the century-long mercury mining. After the fall of the mining Idrija has redirected into innovative electro industry and thus has become an important global centre for this branch. But outside this specific sector of economy Idrija is not recognized and thus the Alpine town of the year offers a great opportunity for the promotion of Idrija and its heritage among tourists and potential visitors.
