GECT GO/ EZTS GO

What GECT GO/ EZTS GO does

GECT GO / EZTS GO is a European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) established in 2012 under EU Regulation 1082/2006, operating as a public-law body jointly owned by three founding municipalities — Comune di Gorizia (Italy), Mestna občina Nova Gorica (Slovenia), and Občina Šempeter-Vrtojba (Slovenia). It coordinates cross-border cooperation across the Gorizia/Nova Gorica/Šempeter-Vrtojba territory, serving municipal governments, regional and national health authorities, citizens, and partner institutions. Its core activity is acquiring and managing EU-funded projects — notably two €5M Integrated Territorial Investment programmes (Isonzo-Soča for a cross-border park and Salute-Zdravstvo for cross-border healthcare) under Interreg V-A Italy-Slovenia 2014–2020, the GO! 2025 European Capital of Culture programme, and smaller pilot actions including SANITAS (€856K, 2025–2027) and CONNECT (€39K, 2025). Revenue is non-commercial, drawn from EU Interreg grants, AEBR/MOT pilot funding, and annual member-municipality contributions; pricing is not applicable.

Technically, EGTC GO operates three notable digital assets: the CUP transfrontaliero (an intermediate booking environment connecting Italian CUP FVG and Slovenian eNaročanje healthcare platforms, opened to the public April 2021), the multilingual go2025.eu tourism and cultural itinerary platform, and the Jems project-management system for Interreg small-project-fund (SPF) administration. These are interoperability and coordination layers rather than commercial software products. The organisation has no parent, no subsidiaries, and no headcount beyond a small administrative team led by Director Romina Kocina.

Direct peers

• EUREGHA - European Regional and Local Health Authorities: European network of regional and local health authorities that GECT GO joined in May 2026. EUREGHA focuses on cross-border health cooperation, directly comparable to GECT GO's Salute-Zdravstvo and SANITAS healthcare initiatives, and provides a peer network for replicating the cross-border healthcare booking model.
• EGTC Euroregion Tirol: European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation operating across the Austria-Italy border, with an analogous legal structure under EU Regulation 1082/2006. Comparable in scope (bilateral cross-border EGTC), governance model (municipal assembly), and reliance on Interreg programme funding.
• EGTC Greater Region: One of the largest EGTCs in Europe, covering the Franco-Belgian-Luxembourg-German border around Saar-Lor-Lux. Operates under the same EU Regulation 1082/2006 framework with municipal membership and Interreg funding, performing comparable cross-border territorial cooperation and project delivery functions.
• Association of European Border Regions (AEBR): European umbrella association for border regions and EGTCs. AEBR is a strategic partner of GECT GO, co-funding the CONNECT pilot action on climate adaptation and territorial resilience, and operates as a comparable cross-border cooperation coordination body across Europe.
• Mission Opérationnelle Transfrontalière (MOT): French cross-border cooperation organisation that co-manages the Resilient Borders programme alongside AEBR and directly partners with GECT GO on the CONNECT pilot action. MOT performs comparable cross-border project facilitation and advisory functions in the Franco-Belgian, Franco-German, and Franco-Swiss borderlands.
• Euregio Maas-Rhein: Established cross-border cooperation body covering the Belgium-Netherlands-Germany border region. Comparable in its focus on removing cross-border barriers to mobility, healthcare, and employment, and in its reliance on Interreg funding and multi-municipal governance.

Broad incumbents

• Interreg Italy-Slovenia Programme Secretariat: Managing authority for the Interreg V-A Italy-Slovenia programme that has provided €10M+ in ITI funding to GECT GO. Operates at programme level rather than project level but is the principal funding counterpart and regulatory framework for all of GECT GO's cross-border initiatives.
