Summary/Abstract: The paper shows the regional characteristics of the Three-Seas area in terms of defining thecompetitive advantage of the whole region and its countries through the development of relationships andchanges in their approaches to the competitive paradigm in this area. The scientific discussion undertakenin this paper is related to internal resources in terms of ICT and human resources development (and itsinvolvement in science and technology – measured by Human Resources for science and technology)as well as innovativeness. The authors have chosen indicators of development that could be beneficialin terms of decreasing historical economic developmental inequalities, with some differences betweenthe Three-Seas countries being analysed for the period of 2006–2018. The secondary data was takenfrom Eurostat and other available sources. The regional strategy should focus on the knowledge-basedeconomy, and the possibilities for rapid development in this area. This gives opportunities to make rapidprogress in a region centrally located in Europe to generate great potential to strengthen accumulatedresources and, in the nearest future, to create the possibility of becoming a hub connecting eastern andwestern Europe.
