Cluster involving all actors of sectoral value chain
Objective of approach:
- To build up trust in strategic partnerships
- To identify common challenges (technology, market, regulation,...), which can be solved in a collaborative way
- Increased lobbying potential of the cluster towards administrations
A cluster brings together relevant players of the value chain in a specific sector, which are geographically concentrated and share common strategic challenges.
Example:
As a reference, there are 30 clusters in Catalonia, home to 1,700 firms accounting for a turnover of 65 billion euros. (http://www.catalonia.com/en/catalonia-barcelona/diverse-open-dynamic/clu...)
USP:
The geographical proximity of the stakeholders allows for a more precise definition of the common challenges. This helps in delivering optimized solutions to such challenges.

- Stakeholders' relevant staff (incl. R&D, business development, internationalization, etc.)
- Relevant staff from the (local) administration
- Appropriate meeting rooms
- Appropriate material (incl. PC, beamer,...)
Success factors:
- Cluster manager's ability to involve stakeholders
- Cluster manager's ability to encourage stakeholders to participate and get the maximum out of the cluster
