Scope of the Project & Overall Objective
Clusters are defined as groups of firms, related economic actors and institutions located near each other and with sufficient scale to develop specialized expertise, services, resources, suppliers and skills.
The overall objective of Euromed Clusters Forward is to empower clusters to promote inclusive innovation and competitiveness in the South Neighbourhood region in order to enhance growth, economic diversification, sustainable development and employment.
Specific Objectives
Specific objective 1 focuses on improving the regulatory framework of clusters and enhances clusters collaboration (with Europe and within the Southern Neighbourhood region).
Specific objective 2 targets the cluster level. It aims to improve the capacities of cluster organisations to develop forward-looking strategies and provide quality services to their members, increasing their business performance, innovation capacity and job creation.
