6 Where are we today? What is new? 2

7 The Drivers behind the New Apporaches Current trends: Industrial transformation processes, increasing convergence of technologies and the ermergence of new industries require new policy frameworks new supporting instruments systematic policy approach 3

8 Trend 1 From Cluster Management Excellence towards Cluster Policy Excellence 4

9 New Generation of European Cluster Observatory 5

10 New Generation of European Cluster Observatory 6

11 New Policy Tools: The Peer Review of Policies Workshop Best Practice : Learning from peers Drafting recommendations 7 7

12 Improving Regional Policy Making What actors are missing Role models: Well performing regions Model CC Bavaria Development from within the industry Model Spitzencluster R&D driven focus on a specific topic Where can cluster policy be improved? Learning region What can be learned? Policy level Framework conditions, coordination, incentives Cluster level Project development, assistance to industry and academia Company level Product/service development, marketing, etc. Involvement of industry: strategy development Aligning cluster policies with other regional innovation and economic policies 8

25 Trend 4 Aligning and Syncronising National and Regional Funding Schemes to Initiate Transnational Cross Cluster Cooperation within Europe 21

26 Innovation Express Call Under BSR Programme Matching Event in Berlin 230 cluster managers 27 countries 50 transnational co operation projects expected 8 regions / countries joint Innovation Express Cal BSR Innovation Express is a joint call for proposals implemented within the framework of the BSR Stars programme. The call is funded by national/regional funding agencies to initiate, develop or enhance transnational cluster cooperation activities leveraging cluster organisations (or similar) to develop proposals for their SME members 22

27 What Remains the same Cluster will play an important role in Renewing European Industry Cluster policy makers have to learn how to make better use out of clusters Custer policy is much more than only funding of cluster initiatives 23

28 Policies supporting Cross-Cluster development Mariana Voicu, Ministry of Economy Romania Olav Sonderskov, Region South-Denmark Lennart Svensson, Skane Region Gerd Meier zu Köcker, ClusterAgentur Baden-Württemberg

29 Flashlights on Learnings from ClusteriX Project

30 CLUSTERIX Cross-Linked Cluster Innovation Point of departure: The most interesting collaborative project ideas arise at the intersection of different clusters. How to identify new technological or economic domains? (based on existing fields of strength / clusters)? How to (financially) support these developments? How to initiate and support cross regional / international collaboration?
