A Region on the move

 Cross-border commuter traffic flows reveal that national employment markets are closely meshed in Meuse-Rhine. Every day more than 30,000 people cross the border to go to work. The highways and the logistical framework outlined assure optimal mobility.

High-speed (TGV/ICE) nodes in the European rail network now require rapid and convenient connections with regional transport networks. The planned Circle Line rail link, to provide continuous and fast cross-border connections to Meuse-Rhine' major cities will be a milestone in Euroregional and intraregional network development.

High-quality R&D services play a very important role in this. The many universities and research institutions (with a student population of 100,000) are producing a new, highly qualified and internationally oriented generation with a focus on science and technology. This outstanding technological potential has been a decisive factor in Meuse Rhine's revival.
