Arising from an inclusive Regional Foresight exercise that was carried out in 2004 and 2005, a vision for the BMW Region in 2025 was developed. The agreed vision for the BMW Region is to develop:
“An innovative, knowledge-based and competitive region, with a high quality environment, first class infrastructure, visionary leadership and a quality of life for its citizens that is among the highest in the world”
There are five components of this vision and they are outlined in Table 4.1.
