Clusters as key drivers of regional development and growth

The European Cluster Collaboration Platform, a European Commission initiative, is launching the first “Clusters Meet Regions” event, Clusters as key drivers of regional development and growth. The event is a collaboration with the Region of Andalusia and will take place on February 16th and 17th 2022, in Málaga, Spain.

The event has the honour of welcoming a series of 15 regional workshops, over 2 years, in selected EU regions interested in hosting the events in 2022-23 as part of the “Clusters meet Regions” cycle.  The main focus is the contribution of clusters to regional development and growth. You can register for this hybrid event here. It would be an event with public access streammed through ECCP platform and social networks.

The “Clusters Meet Regions” event covers topics such as transition pathways and strategy dependencies, it will also look at cross-border and cross-sectoral cooperation. The agenda includes items such as participant pitches (5'-10' minutes), which will consist of the presentation of concrete cooperation proposals or general profiles of relevant organisations, followed by the site visits where the participant will have the opportunity to visit a local actor who plays a leading role in the ecosystem. Please, note that you are required to register as a speaker if you wish to give a participant pitch.
