The role of clusters in industrial modernisation and internationalisation - ClusterFY case Rima Dijkstra ClusterFY project coordinator Vilnius September 26, 2018 Taftie Expert session
ClusterFY project Financed by the Interreg Europe programme (2 nd call) Project started January 2017, end December 2021 Project duration: 5 years in two phases Implementation phase (3 years) Monitoring phase (2 years) Project budget: more than 1,8 M Euro 2
ClusterFY Partners: MITA - Agency for Science, Innovation and Technology, LT SNN - Northern Netherlands Provinces Alliance, NL MH - Municipality of Hudiksvall, SE PARP - Polish Agency for Enterprise Development, PL UCLM - University of Castilla La Mancha, ES SIEA - Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency, SK CERTH - Centre for Research and Technology Hellas, EL SM RDA - South Muntenia Regional Development Agency, 3
ClusterFY overall Objective To improve regional/national policy instruments seeking to intensify clusterization processes (especially in KETs related sectors), fostering clusters and business networks interregional cooperation, integration into innovative value chains and better employment for the implementation of S3 4
ClusterFY sub-objectives to create the favourable conditions in order to boost the regional/national KETs related networks and cluster development as an important part of RIS3 and innovation ecosystem to intensify clusters and business networks collaboration across borders and sectorial boundaries exploiting KETs and enhance interregional cooperation in fields of strategic interest to increase the internationalisation of clusters and business networks and their integration into innovative value chains 5
ClusterFY approach Explore and analyse partners national andregional innovation and cluster policies and programmes related to 3 components: Cluster/Busines networks KETs Internationalisation 6
KETs selected by EC: nanotechnology micro- and nanoelectronics, incl. semiconductors advanced materials photonics industrial biotechnology advanced manufacturing systems Cross-cutting KETs development for dual use products, services and technologies (civilian and military purposes) KETs play an important role in the research, innovation and cluster strategies of many industries 7

KETs for dual-use New markets that arise from cross-cutting KET developments Markets with the highest potential are in transport, healthcare, security, edutainment, textiles, chemicals and materials, energy and electronics Next slide shows the time to market (2014-20200): 9
