The Cluster Programme defines strategic focus areas
Centres of Expertise within each Cluster have jointly prepared programme documents tailored to the needs and opportunities of enterprises in the area and of other innovation system operators. Key partners include enterprises, universities, universities of applied sciences, research institutions, technology centres and various financing bodies such as cities, municipalities, regional councils, TE Centres and their technology development departments, alongside state provincial offices.
