Each region participating in ClustArs will launch a pilot Competitiveness Reinforcement Initiative. The objective of the Field Projects also called Competitiveness Reinforcement Initiatives (CRI) is to reinforce the competitiveness of the companies of a cluster, considering a cluster as a geographic concentration of interconnected companies and institutions in a particular field, not being necessary the existence of a formal cluster organization.
This initiatives will also improve the communication between public institutions and companies, allowing them to reach a common understanding about the cluster’s competitiveness situation and consensus on actions lines to foster it.
A standard Field Project lasts around 7-8 months. The project is structured in three phases: identification of challenges, guiding the strategy and launching of actions. At the end of each phase, the main results are presented to all cluster members in a public event.
The original information about each initiative is available only in the respective national languages, but you can access the automated google translation into English.
