31 in % Experiences after 13 years of cluster activities 343 projects with more than 1,460 participating companies 77 % of the companies continue working together with their partners from cooperation projects, after these are officially over (the range goes from relationships between customers and suppliers up to establishments of joint ventures) 89 % of the projects could have not been carried out or not in this positive way without the support received from the cluster. One usually would have done without working together with other companies. Cluster partners grow faster than non-cluster partners (e.g. plastics cluster: +8 % p.a. / jobs p.a.)
