Mediterranean Inter Cluster
Cluster policy is a priority in the Mediterranean regions taking part in the ICMed partnership. ICMed will address the issues and challenges facing cluster policy by focusing on 5 specific themes and putting SME competitiveness and innovation at the heart of the project. The ICMed work programme will cover a 3 year period. First, a series of activities will be launched in order to identify the areas of interest for transnational cooperation, to then identify intercluster networks which will be involved in the selection and launch of the pilot cooperation projects. The project aims to achieve three main strategic goals: 1. Develop intercluster partnerships ; 2. Design and implement cooperation projects between business clusters and laboratories ; 3. Foster the integration of innovation support actors (incubators, technology transfer structures…)
