What is a Competitive Cluster? Within a well defined geographical area, a cluster gathers - industries , - research centers and - education institutions  working in partnerships (at least 2 industrials and 1 research lab) to create synergies around innovative projects based on complementary technologies 71 clusters in France So small, so smart

What does a competitive cluster do? Managed by an independent team that knows the local  competencies/players (public & private), the cluster accelerates collaborative projects by animating and consolidating an ecosystem The cluster fosters innovation through networking in order that  industrials and their partners remain competitive/innovative and allow SMEs to develop their business In the cluster, competitors can work together: co-opetition  The cluster certifies projects in order to get financing  It offers many services to its members  So small, so smart
