Indicators include business dynamics, innovation capacity, technological readiness, institutions, infrastructure, re-gional economy, health, education and skills, product market efficiency, employment, access to finance, and market size, with a rating scale from 1 to 5. The results of the analysis show that the Subosukowonosraten region has high potential in most of the assessed aspects, such as business dynamics, innovation, technology, and product market efficiency. However, there is a need to improve education, skills, and access to finance.
