Entrepreneurship in Viotia County
The County of Viotia, even though it presents a
significant dependence in the secondary production
sector and accommodates a great part of the total
manufacturing activity of the country, with
enterprises that determine the national industrial
and financial map, it does not have organized and
suitable spaces to welcome manufacturing and
industrial plants. On the contrary, the industrial
space of the region in the area of Oinofyta –
Schimatari, is developed without any planning at all,
not insuring a rational administration of industrial
waste and downgrading the natural environment
and the quality of life of the population.
Besides, it is astonishing how high are the rates of
unemployment and underemployment of Viotia (of
the highest in Greece), no matter the industrial
development.
Our County is neighboring that of Attica. The
short distance from Athens gives the
opportunity to offer goods and services to a
wide market and to a very large consuming
audience. But at the same time, this
neighboring creates problems to the
autonomous development of companies that
provide services whereas it intensifies the
problem of competition due to the great
number of producers citied in the geographic
region of Attica.
