Boosting innovation through new cluster concepts in support of emerging issues and cross-sectoral themes
Clusters are part of the new economic environment, but often miss the dynamism which is needed for innovation. New cluster concepts which upgrade clusters & cluster policies are needed. Central European governments need to increase the effectiveness of their policies in this area to secure further development and competitiveness. The policy frameworks on cluster and innovation policy need to be upgraded accordingly to enable excellence in cluster performance. CluStrat project has the objective to improve these framework conditions for innovation as well as those of the generation and application of knowledge in the central Europe.
