German "go-cluster" programme

The „go-cluster“ programme by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action supports outstanding German innovation clusters in their continuous development. At the moment the programme has 81 members. The focus of the programme is on networking and a continuous dialogue with other clusters (nationally and internationally), on the provision of individual advisory services, and on offering a series of seminars and events tailored to participants’ needs. In addition to this, the “go-cluster” programme also engages in extensive PR work to advertise the German cluster landscape. This PR work consists of organising the Clusterplattform Deutschland, a German cluster week, various publications, participation in trade fairs and conferences, etc.
