IRE workshop ‘Regional clusters as innovation drivers’
30 May 2006 - 31 May 2006
This IRE event aims to enhance the participants’ understanding about the establishment, implementation and impact of innovative regional clusters. The workshop will highlight the catalytic role played by regional authorities in creating the right framework conditions for the development of clusters and innovation networks, and will focus on certain critical factors that determine the success/failure of clusters, namely:
• the design of cluster initiatives (from feasibility to implementation)
• internal and external cluster interaction; financing; marketing regional-based clusters
• monitoring and evaluating of cluster outcomes.
The agenda will include, among other things, presentations of the cluster policies in Flanders and Yorkshire & Humber, the tourism cluster in North Sweden and the wood and technology cluster in South Tirol.
The workshop is to present key findings of the IRE Subgroup on “Regional clusters as innovation drivers”, which since 2004 has brought together 13 IRE member regions to investigate how innovative clusters can be stimulated and promoted.
