PROGRAMS WITH CROSS-CLUSTERING ASPECTS
The idea is for industry, the public sector and academia to
collaborate for common prioritizations in terms of investments in
research, development and innovation, thus
strengthening one another.
STRATEGIC INNOVATION PROGRAMS (1)
11 approved programs – examples of areas:
Health
Automation
Bio-based Material
Mining
Light Weight Material
IKT
Aircraft Industry
STRATEGIC INNOVATION PROGRAMS (2)
How to combine excellent research for intelligent packaging and service related research for packaging?
How can these clusters - one research based cluster and one cluster close to the market
- provide and support each other in order to get stronger and more competitive?
THE PACKAGING ARENA AND PRINTED ELECTRONICS ARENA
• Legitimacy from the industry
• Two leading clusters can take advantage of each other – if they are
complementary to each other
• Cluster networking must be a bottom-up process – important with trust from both sides
• Important with an engaged leadership in both clusters
• Start with the market needs – research is a long term process
• Mutual trust is essential
LEARNINGS FROM CROSS CLUSTERING
• Different funds
• Coordination: cohesion policy, rural development, maritime & fisheries funds
• Comprehensive investment strategy: aligned with Europe 2020 objectives
• Objectives and indicators to measure progress towards Europe 2020 targets
STRUCTURAL FUNDS – SOME FACTS
• 9 programmes: 8 regional, 1 national
• Focus on Innovation, SME and CO2
• Appr 1BnEUR in EU funding
• 15% of budget towards a national programme
• Smart Specialisation
