  overcome desertification of mountain/rural areas
  we need
• innovative systems and technologies to manage
  public and private services. Different models
  from urban areas. Different socio-economic
  situations - different solutions. Equal
  opportunities.
• private or public networks and chains (long or
  short) to manage services and to support
  inhabitants and enterprises
• public-private partnerships to plan and to
  support socio-economic development

14
Conclusions

• we need also to discuss each others together
  with similar/complementary reality, to build a
  real mountain strategy and planning with bottom
  up approach.
• we need to exchange experiences with the other
  interreg project (a,b and c), but also with
  Leader projects, which work in similar situation
• we think this Summit is a real important event
  to build new project and to create new
  opportunities for mountain areas starting from
  interreg 3b Alpine Space experiences.
