The “Associazione Clust-ER Industrie Culturali e Creative (Clust-ER CREATE)”, located in Bologna, assumes the role of a coordinator of the Creative & Cultural Industries (CCI) ecosystem, which is amongst the main innovative ecosystems in the region Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The Clust-ER CREATE was formally established as a registered association in May 2017 and is highly involved in the regional strategies and implementation plans fostering innovation activities and the green and digital transition of Emilia-Romagna. While being a comparably young initiative, the impact of the cluster has already reached a considerable dimension. A major success factor is the well-balanced relationship between policy makers and cluster management, which is based on a strong bilateral commitment and has led to an increase in innovative activity within the CCI ecosystem.
