- 強大的製造基地，當地經濟的複雜性和多樣性日益增加，專注於創新、數位轉型和基於知識的增值活動；
- Rising rates of domestic consumption and higher growth rates of e-commerce sales than in Western Europe;
- A skilled, cost-effective workforce at all levels of education, with world-class universities that support R&D and the growth of high-tech business ecosystems.
