La Valle d'Aosta
It is no chance that Valle d'Aosta is home to a network of very dynamic mainly small and medium-sized businesses that develop new projects and ideas every year. Valle d'Aosta is the smallest region in Italy and located in the centre of routes used for exchanging goods, ideas, projects and market flows. This mountainous region - French-speaking by tradition and located in a privileged geographical position bordering with France and Switzerland - gets a head start when it comes to grasping international development opportunities.
