Workshop - GROW your REGIOn

DELIVERING SMART SPECIALISATION AND ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION THROUGH CLUSTERS

Using interactive formats, this conference will provide a unique opportunity for regional policy makers and cluster actors to share experiences on how smart specialisation strategies and clusters can help transform your region and drive growth. 

The emphasis on economic transformation and on building interregional value chains calls for a new generation of cluster policy approaches. Clusters can be key delivery instruments for national and regional smart specialisation strategies, internal market, re-industrialisation and SME policy. 

Building upon success stories and innovative practices, participants will learn about novel ways of implementing smart specialisation through cluster-based activities and cross-clustering actions.

They will also have the chance to explore new partnerships for joint activities in the context of the new generation of European programmes such as ERDF, COSME and Horizon2020.

This is an event jointly organised by DGs GROW and REGIO of the European Commission.

More information of the registration procedure and programme will follow shortly.
