Clusters Innovation Programme

Project description

A closer look at the collaboration behind clusters

Catalonia, Denmark and Lower Austria are considered pioneers in cluster policy, which is aimed at improving business competitiveness using clusters as a tool. The EU-funded CLIP project will further develop cluster programmes in these regions. Specifically, it will analyse the evolution from a single-level cluster programme towards a multilevel method, improve the governance model from a cluster perspective and from the system, and strengthen the linkages between cluster policy and other policies to unlock its full potential. CLIP will exploit the well-established relationship between agencies in the three regions and use the Twinning+ methodology to generate innovative methods through collaboration. The project will lead to a Design Options Paper for the participating clusters and dissemination to a wider audience.

Objective

CLusters Innovation Programme (hereinafter CLIP) aims at revamping the cluster programmes of Catalonia, Denmark and
Lower Austria, three historical locations with a long track record in cluster development. CLIP will begin by fully reviewing
each programme to then focus the work in three specific challenges that are shared. Namely: analysing the pertinence of
evolving from a single-level cluster programme towards a multilevel approach, improving the governance model both from a
cluster perspective and from the system and, lastly, facilitating clusters reach their full potential as a core bordering different
policies.

To do so, CLIP will benefit from the longstanding relationship amongst the agencies and will use the Twinning+ methodology
to go beyond the mere exchange of best practices so as to generate innovative approaches through collaboration.

CLIP will result in a Design Options Paper (DOP) to be implemented in the participant cluster programmes as well as
publicly disseminated to other agencies and wider audience.
