There is clear evidence of regions all across Europe where clusters play a crucial role in regional economic development. The objective of the ‘Clusters meet Regions’ initiative is to facilitate the implementation of good practices where clusters play an active role in regional economies and are drivers for economic transition, and to create and promote collaborations between clusters and regional stakeholders for the industrial development of the regions.
To reinforce the connection between clusters and regional actors, 15 transnational workshops will be held during 2022 - 2023. These workshops bring together clusters and policymakers at the local, regional, and national level to work on strengthening the industrial ecosystem of a selected host region.
A new call for applications to host upcoming 'Clusters meet Regions' events in 2024 will open soon and will be addressed to local and regional authorities, innovation agencies, cluster organisations, business network organisations, and other small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) intermediaries. Stay tuned to find out more.
