Summary/Abstract: This study will analyze the potential development and problems facing South-West Oltenia.

Opportunities for businesses highlight the importance of SMEs in generating jobs. Another aspect is the research and development sector where investments are needed for developing and fostering entrepreneurial mindsets. Further on, this study reflects the importance of tourism, which, aligned to national objectives, helps the region’s sustainable economic development.
