Objective

The main objective of this project is to put in place a set of tailor-made support activities and to create an appropriate institutional framework which will help catalyze the emergence of a research-driven automotive cluster in West Region Romania. Starting from the promising evolution of the rapidly growing agglomeration of automotive enterprises in West Romania, the project will promote the co-operation among various players in this field, and will activate the growth potential of this agglomeration • by mobilizing high-level scientific resources for the benefits for automotive SMEs and • by establishing a supporting cluster management unit. This will help to facilitate its evolution towards a competitive European cluster.
