On 13 September 2021, the EU SME Centre (the Centre) and the Cluster Alimentario de Galicia (Clusaga) renewed the previous partnership agreement signed back in November 2016. Previous collaboration between the Centre and Clusaga included training workshops on how to export Food and Beverages, and support in trade missions and international trade fairs such as SIAL; as well as advice for the opening of the Clusaga branch office in Shanghai.

The renewal of this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) proofs the commitment of both parties to strengthen future cooperation through the design and implementation of China-related business activities of the interest of Clusaga and its network of SMEs. Clusaga is glad to reestablish this cooperation and create synergies with EU SME Center to better support its members.
