Clusters in Policies: From National and Regional Agendas to Industrial Strategies

Novinka

The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, hosts the EU Clusters Talk “Clusters in Policies: From National and Regional Agendas to Industrial Strategies” on 10 September, from 8:30 – 9:45 CET.


EU Member States implement cluster policies not only to foster innovation and competitiveness but also to align with broader regional development and industrial policy goals. These strategies are increasingly integrated into national and regional policy frameworks to address place-based priorities, industrial transformation, and sustainable growth. While over half of the EU27 have more than a decade of experience in cluster-specific policies, their approaches differ significantly depending on governance structures, policy objectives, and regional contexts. This complexity offers valuable insights into how clusters contribute to cohesive and future-oriented territorial and sectoral strategies.

 

To explore these dynamics, the European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, hosts the EU Clusters Talk “Clusters in Policies: From National and Regional Agendas to Industrial Strategies” on 10 September, from 8:30 – 9:45 CET. The session will showcase how different Member States integrate cluster support into their regional and industrial policy frameworks, discuss successful approaches, and reflect on what is needed to strengthen coherence and impact in the evolving policy landscape.

 

  • Robert Wenzel, Head of Department – Research and Development Infrastructure Department, Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic, will participate on behalf of the Czech Republic.
