Adriatic – Ionian region
The Adriatic–Ionian Region is a vibrant and diverse area where cultures, ideas, and communities come together across land and sea. Home to more than 70 million people, it is connected by shared history and a common future vision, with the participating countries working hand in hand through the EU Strategy for the Adriatic and Ionian Region (EUSAIR) to build a more sustainable, innovative, and resilient macroregion.
What unites them is more than geography. It is a commitment to cooperation — from protecting our environment and improving mobility, to supporting local economies and strengthening social ties. By joining their strengths, the countries of the Adriatic–Ionian Region create opportunities that reach far beyond national borders, bringing benefits to citizens, businesses, and institutions alike.
Whether through joint projects, coordinated policies, or the exchange of expertise, EUSAIR helps transform shared challenges into shared progress. This partnership stands as a testament to how collaboration can inspire growth, stability, and long-lasting connections throughout the region.
