EU-Japan Regional Cluster Forum, Yokohama, Japan

The EU-Japan Regional Cluster Forum will be held in Yokohama, Japan, on 2 and 3 December.

The objectives of the forum are to stimulate and facilitate global outreach of European and Japanese clusters through increasing mutual awareness on cluster policies, development methods and management practices, and to foster cooperation between research and innovation regional clusters in Europe and in Japan.

The event is addressed at managers of Japanese and European clusters as well as research, industrial and financial representatives of clusters and European and Japanese officials from ministries, embassies and agencies.

The forum will take place at the same time as the annual fair 'Cluster Japan'.For further information, please download:
