This platform was established by the European Commission and it connects 1,000 cluster organizations across Europe, while also reaching up to 100,000 SMEs and 8,000 large companies, as well as 11,000 universities and numerous other organizations. This will enable us to participate in various international projects, develop new services for our members, strategically approach new markets and connect with colleagues from all over the world.
One of the main criteria for the validation of a cluster organization by the ECCP (European Cluster Collaboration Platform) is that it operates on the basis of the triple helix model, which means that it actively cooperates with the relevant industries, universities, and the government, which is exactly the mission and position of the SGA.
This step will ensure we bring brand new opportunities for our members over the coming years, especially when it comes to cooperation with colleagues from other countries, internationalization of our projects, and access to different markets.
