Welcome to Clusters & Cities Network : CLUSNET

Financed by the INTERREG IVC program, the Clusters & Cities Network - CLUSNET - aims to improve the effectiveness of European city based cluster support policies. Through the analysis of cluster policies, the project will produce highly operational policy recommendations targeting each partner city on how to strengthen their territorial impact of their cluster support policies. CLUSNET will also facilitate the creation of links between clusters from partner cities and thereby improve criteria’s of critical mass and cluster competitiveness at European levels.  

The CLUSNET partnership consists of Lyon (Lead Partner), Barcelona, Munich, Dortmund, Leipzig, Manchester, Helsinki, Budapest, Gothenburg, Eindhoven, EUROCITIES & the cluster policy experts from the Stockholm School of Economics. The project was launched in September 2008 for at duration of a bit more than 3 years.
