Dear member of the ECCP community,
On 8 March 2016, the European Cluster Collaboration Platform was launched in Brussels to a large European and international community of cluster organisations and stakeholders. The platform offers a new design, with modern interactive features and support services for international cluster collaboration.
The new support services for your internationalisation work include:
- Mapping of cluster organisations, based on new profiles related to internationalisation
- Opportunities to connect and initiate collaboration in high level events in Europe and beyond – through matchmaking events for clusters and SMEs
- A forum for cluster organisations to discuss/offer/demand/exchange opportunities for cluster cooperation
- Key information on priority third countries helping clusters and SMEs internationalise
- A home for the new European Strategic Cluster Partnerships – Go International, launched today in Brussels.
But the new ECCP web platform will only work if you are part of it!
What you should do next?
- Visit www.clustercollaboration.eu and take a few minutes to register and discover its features
- Put your cluster on the map! If you represent a cluster organisation, first register to get your personal account, then create your cluster profile. Your international visibility will be greatly enhanced with very little communication efforts!
- Regularly promote your own news/events/documents that you want to share internationally on your cluster profile
- Let us know about any information you think is relevant for the cluster community (success stories, great achievements) and we will publish it on the public pages. We want ECCP to be an open community, sharing your knowledge with the wider cluster community
- Help your cluster SMEs to connect and develop international links
- Come back regularly to stay updated! ECCP will grow daily in content and exposure and is at your service – make good use of it!
The first opportunity concerns the new ECCP cluster matchmaking programme: we are pleased to announce that the ECCP kicks-off with the first of a series of matchmaking events inviting you to participate at the EU-US matchmaking event in Hannover, 25-26 April. Don’t miss the chance to explore new business opportunities with European and US clusters at this special event during the Hannover fair, one of Europe’s largest and most dynamic industrial events!
- Application, registration, preparation – Just a few clicks on the event site.
We look forward to meeting, interacting and supporting you on ECCP!
