Fostering Clusters’ Interregional Collaboration and Integration into International Value Chains

ClusterFY project addresses the needs of business networks, clusters to integrate into the regional and international innovation value chains, increase their innovation capacities for the commercialisation of knowledge, creation of radical innovation, implementation of disruptive solutions exploiting KETs, especially in S3 priority areas. KETs have the potential to bring growth to regions, enhance its' competitiveness and for lagging regions it is of key importance to have access to these technologies. ClusterFY seeks to improve regional/national cluster policies identifying the opportunities in each of partners’ regions, how to connect KETs related sector strengths with societal and consumer trends, how to utilize cross-sectorial combination, multi-level governance of cluster, interaction between clusters, public organisations and regions and exploit the interregional cooperation. ClusterFY Partnership involves well developed, transition and lagging regions and it creates a win-win situation: developed regions, which have already created a favourable policy tools for efficient employment of clusters will allow lagging and transition regions adopt and integrate good practice and on the other hand they will learn new approaches of governance and piloting actions. The ClusterFY overall objective is to improve regional/national policy instruments seeking to intensify clusterization processes (KETs related), fostering clusters’ and business networks interregional cooperation, integration into innovative value chains and better employment for the implementation of S3. The main outputs are: 57 interregional learning events, 8 Action Plans addressing 7 ERDF and 1 national policy instruments, at least 16 good practices analysed and shared, 105 people with increased professional capacity, Joint Clusters (KETs related) Policy recommendations. Partners will try to find solutions to encourage clusters to drive growth in the regions and contribute to the implementation of S3.
