Regional competitiveness grows in conditions influenced by globalisation. It is determined by many external and internal factors, i.e. factors which come from within a region, and from other areas. Most often such competitiveness indicators include: - human Capital (education, qualifications, etc.) which play a major role in the process of development; - well-developed research and development potential, which supports innovative process, and contributes to the improvement of innovation; - well-developed and effective transformation infrastructure (high-ways, airports, railroads, etc), which contribute to better accessibility of a region; - modern communication networks; - favourable business environment; - high level business activity based on development and entrepreneurship. In our research, we compared the competitiveness of Silesia with other regions as regards several factors, such as geographic, demographic and economic potential. (fragment of text)
