The fourth bimonthly report focuses on the study of Alicante and its competitors from two territorial perspectives: an analysis at the provincial level and another at the city level, with European and international competitors. The aim is to study the advantages and disadvantages in terms of quality of life and cost of living, economic performance, tourist accessibility and business ecosystem, when attracting international funds. The profile of national, European and global competitors detected is very varied, including areas with a tourist profile, regions that have carried out a process of transforming their economy through innovation, large cities surrounded by an innovative ecosystem and competitors that base their economic model on industry.
