The Collaborative Mapping of Innovation Supporting Actors – CMISA is a European Commission online hub that collect and publish information about the innovation supporting actors and  provides easily accessible, relevant and comprehensive information on innovation supporting actors and instruments across Europe. CMISA does not directly collect this information from innovation supporting actors, but rather relies on its partner websites that upload their curated datasets in a common format.

The ICT Cluster Burgas is the only officially recognized and registered in the European platform hub from the southeastern region of Bulgaria.

The presence of the ICT Cluster Burgas in the platform reveals to the members of the Cluster many opportunities for participation in various European projects, as well as finding partners in different countries, regions, sectors or ecosystems.

The website of the Collaborative Mapping of Innovation Supporting Actors – CMISA collects data about Innovation supporting actors, offered by several European websites. Other partners are:

• Advanced Technologies for Industry (ATI)
• Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH)
• European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP)
• European Enterprise Network (EEN)
• KET4Cleanproduction

The datasets provided by these European websites are merged into a central database and shared under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence. This means that reuse is allowed, provided appropriate credit is given and changes are indicated.

The CMISA project offers several ways for other projects and for researchers to re-use the dataset.
