CLUSTERIX

Clusters for European Innovation Cross-Linking

Clusters. In many cases, it is not entirely clear even for developing enterprises working in networks and economic development professionals what these semi-formal, long-term, often low-intensity coalitions can be used for. Consequently, they cannot play the key role, the strategic position, which they originally would have the capability of. The ClusteriX project responds to this uncertainty with cooperation that goes beyond national borders and industries, provides critical mass to increase competitiveness and innovation, and is capable of representing the SME’s voices and interests on the highest levels. The project partners are organizations with years of cluster development experience coming from European regions of the greatest cluster traditions. These organizations undertook the assistance of clusters and political systems supporting clusters through the collection and analysis of the well and not well functioning initiatives, as well as the intensive circulation of knowledge and innovative capabilities in order for the clusters‘ competitive operation to be more efficient and more successful in the long run as well.
