Naxta combines different complementary experiences in designing projects and providing technical assistance in the fields of European integration, international cooperation and internationalisation.
We serve the needs of public authorities, territorial and economic development agencies, resource centres, business representative organisations wishing to strengthen and develop international activities.
Naxta develops and delivers project de- sign, technical assistance, project management and monitors opportunities within European and international development programmes. In the context of the European Union enlargement and of the increasingly more significant role of Community support for socio-economic development and cohesion, we aim to promote the European integration of public and semi-public bodies.
To achieve an efficient transfer of knowledge and practices we provide specialist technical assistance for international cooperation initiatives implemented by companies, governmental and non-governmental organisations.
Furthermore, in the context of the ever more complex dynamics of a global market, we work to facilitate the process of internationalisation providing tools for promoting existing resources and identifying new potential opportunities.

C-PLUS aims at improving clusters to become world-class clusters. Clusters are geographic concentrations of interconnected companies, specialised suppliers, service providers, and associated institutions in a particular field. Clusters arise because they increase the productivity with which companies can compete. C-PLUS reaches its main goal through: transnational co-operation exchanging knowledge, market intelligence, sharing access to research and testing facilities and developing new and better services to cluster firms, contributing to the creation of a common European research and innovation space.
The project aims at strengthening the planning and organisational capacities of local stakeholders in the field of economic and social development.

The project aims at increasing and promoting slow tourist itineraries in Italian and Slovenian areas, par- ticularly involving the territories with naturalistic and environmental peculiarities. Besides the interven- tions of marketing, training, communication, the pro- ject organises real “Slow” points and structures eco- friendly tourist niche products, boosting the tourism potential of both countries.
