Description
Organised by the European Commission with the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU and backed by the European Cluster Collaboration Platform, Europe’s cluster stakeholders will convene at the European Cluster Conference every 2 years. The 2024 edition will focus on the clusters’ role in the Single Market, EU competitiveness and expectations for cluster policy over the next 5 years.
This year’s key event promises an engaging programme designed to accelerate the green and digital transitions while enhancing the resilience of EU industry through skills, technology and funding. There will be an exhibition showcasing innovative projects and Commission-led initiatives. There will also be a matchmaking event to facilitate trade, investment and partnerships, fostering connections within Europe’s value chains.
A representative from the International IP SME Helpdesk will be available at the European Cluster Conference in Brussels, Belgium, to provide support to any potentially interested companies on their internationalisation processes. This will help them to avoid risks and raise awareness on the benefits of protecting their intellectual property rights abroad.
