¶"Main research direction" ?
try 1):
If something is produced somewhere, in some territory
And the territory has some specific property (geographic, social/economic, ...)
Then there is a good chance, there will be specific types of product / service available to export to other places
try 2):

However, specific types of source items ["authentic", hand-crafted, ... fast developing like tech gadgets]
... in specific localities [less reached by globalism - like Canaries]
... might present this opportunity
