Impact Insights: Measuring and Optimising Cluster Performance, EU CLuster Talks, 18. September 2024
European Cluster Collaboration Platform invites you to EU Clusters Talk, which will take place online on September 18th, 2024, from 08:30 to 09:45 CET.
In today's rapidly evolving economic landscape, the ability to accurately measure the impact of cluster initiatives is more important than ever. Clusters are vital engines of innovation, competitiveness, and regional development, driving significant economic and social transformations. As policymakers and stakeholders seek to optimize the benefits of clusters, there is a growing need for a robust understanding of how to capture their multifaceted contributions. They can relate to the direct impact on their members, the impact on the regional ecosystem, or the wider economic network. Some of the aspects to highlight are how clusters influence innovation, job creation, and sustainability, while also looking at their role for the green and digital transition.
The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, organises the EU Clusters Talk “Impact Insights: Measuring and Optimising Cluster Performance” on 18 September, 8:30 – 9:45 CET, to open the dialogue on how to assess a cluster’s impact and discuss approaches for measuring the true value of clusters in Europe’s economy.
