1 TRNAVA REGION I 1

2 General Information The Trnava region is one of the smallest regions of Slovakia in terms of both area and population. Geographically, it is largely made up of the Danubian plain and the Záhorská lowlands, with the Little Carpathian Mountains running between them. The area is rich in water resources, with the rivers Danube, Váh and Morava draining the region. The region has common borders with three countries: Czech Republic, Hungary and Austria. This fact helps determine the national structure of the inhabitants. In addition to Slovaks, there are two major ethnic groups Hungarians and Czechs. The Trnava region comprises 7 districts, 16 towns and 251 villages with the population of inhabitants and a population density of 134 inhabitants per km 2. Trnava region s main strengths are: growing rate of foreign capital especially in industry; the highest level of utilization of agricultural land in SR; presence of major foreign investment; qualified work force; potential for building industrial zones; good transport position in terms of investors - Bratislava, Vienna, airport, highway; concentration of institutions with interregional importance; existence of 3 universities; important cultural and historic relics; existence of geothermal and healing springs.

3 Transport and Infrastructure The Trnava region has a very good railway and road network. There is one international airport, in Piešťany, which is mainly used for charter flights. The main international airport in Bratislava is within an hour's drive of the entire region. The main railway lines crossing the region connect the capital Bratislava to Czech Republic and Hungary and to other important centres in Slovakia, such as Žilina, Zvolen and Košice. The road network totals 3309 km, of which 1900 km are state roads. There are two highways passing through the region, one connecting Bratislava to Prague and the other Bratislava to Trenčín. The suppliers of telephone services are Slovak Telekom, a.s., which offers fixed lines, and T-Mobile Slovensko, a.s., Orange Slovensko, a.s. and Telefónica O2 Slovakia, s.r.o., all of which offer mobile services. Rates are the same all over the Slovak Republic. Gas and electricity supply rates are the same for each whole region. Water supply rates and sewage fees are independent and thus vary from district to district. Economy and Industry The region has a rich industrial heritage.
