Decision brief

Download brief (PDF)mandate-neutral · ranked by overall opportunity

Why you might not pick Ιωάννινα

Economic base (EU bottom 15%); Labour market (EU bottom 15%); Connectivity (EU bottom 15%); Governance (EU bottom 15%); Air quality (EU bottom 15%). Its weakest dimension is Air quality (EU pctl 0) — Ηλεία may suit a mandate that weights that higher.

How robust is this recommendation?

The leader depends on the mandate: Logistics → Ηλεία · Manufacturing → Ιωάννινα · Office → Ιωάννινα · Residential → Ηλεία.
