The V4 countries need to focus more on education and quality of business environment, say researchers
Experts from the University of Economics in Prague, Jagellonian University, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the University of Economics in Bratislava conducted a twelve-month research within the Visegrad project called “How to benefit from Global Value Chains – Implications for the V4 countries”. The project tackled the issues related to Visegrad region’s participation in the global value chains.
In the last two decades, the entire region attracted large FDI inflows which contributed to the creation of new jobs and economic growth. Yet, most activities of the region focus on industries generating lower value added such as manufacturing, especially automotive and machinery. In order to enhance innovation-driven competitiveness, the V4 countries are trying to develop strategies and attract FDIs in activities that generate higher value added.
This given, the research question which arises is how to enhance upgrading of the V4 region within the global value chains and what are the challenges for the individual countries and their governments. Five studies related to the topic and two workshops were organized in order to approach current developments in single V4 countries, and overall position of the V4 region were conducted. Based on the outcomes major common obstacles for upgrading in the V4 countries within the global value chains were identified in the areas of education and business environment.
